Solo + Solo + Duo
Kaffe’s accomplice at the City of
Women gig is musician/composer Stevie Wishart (see also page 25). As a
musicologist Wishart has explored and researched archaic music traditions (such
as from Rajastan, Occitania, or from the mountain villages of Cantabria), and
medieval music. Her expertise, combined with an overwhelming intuition, gives her
extraordinary improvisational skill, a skill she loves to use in experimental,
contemporary, urban and high-tech settings. She performs with the Australian
Quartet Machine for Making Sense and is regularly seen on jazz and improvised
music stages (like this year’s Nickelsdorf New Music Festival).
In the City of Women we’ll first hear both musicians solo, after which
they’ll conclude with an unprecedented, unique duet.
Kaffe Matthews: Violin + electronics; Stevie Wishart: hurdy gurdy, violin, voice.
