Clorinde - Isnaj Dui - Karina Esp

A night of instrumental music, minimalist composition, free form experimentation and various permutations in between.

Clorinde is an instrumental avant-folk project composed by multi instrumentalist Andrea Salvatici, Simone Salvatici, David Harris and Derek Yau. It has been producing music based on a minimalist approach towards repetition, melodies, rhythm and sounds, resulting in beautiful fragile balance between tight cyclic structures and free form improvisation.They make extensive use of acoustic and electric instruments (banjos, guitars , vibraphones, African kalimbas, zithers, clarinet, bass, electric organ, cello, flute, various drums and percussions), bringing an enchanting flavor of rithmic psychedelia mathematical post-folk with exciting structures and surprising passages of minimal introspection.

Isnaj Dui
Standing somewhere between neo-impressionism and electronica, Isnaj Dui, aka Katie English, conveys a minimal yet capturing sound using electronically manipulated flutes and homemade instruments. Katie has released several critically acclaimed albums including 2007’s Amacrine. She has appeared at venues such as the National Portrait Gallery and Union Chapel in London and has received extensive play on Radio 3's Late Junction and BBC 6 Music.

Karina ESP is the ambient recording project of Chris Gowers who also runs the Trome Records label, and is active with the bands Signals and Rome Pays Off. Output centres around slowly formed melancholic ambience, minimal guitar drones and blurred melodies. A new album, 'Detachment', will be released on the Belgian label Morc Records in the coming months. "Karina ESP sets in slow motion a series of tonal drifts from attack suppressed guitar resonance and carefully controlled amplifier feedback, resulting in a barren and vaguely hostile environment"- The Wire
