Bottlenote Festival 09

If experimental jazz is your thing, the Bottlenote Collective promise to simultaneously stimulate your brains and ears with 2 nights of brand new improvised music from Bottlenote members Seán Óg, Simon Jermyn, Shane Latimer and Justin Carroll, in collaboration with visiting artists from Norway, Paris, Denmark and London’s Loop Collective. That adds up to 2 double bills featuring newly commissioned music for 4 new groups at the cutting edge of contemporary jazz, as well as music from established Bottlenote groups, Bang Hazard and Lead Soup, laptop sets from Estonian sound artist Alo Allik and Dublin’s Eomac, and 2 free workshops open to the public. The festival runs at the Twisted Pepper on Fri 4 and Sat 5 Dec. www.bottlenotemusic.com
