Creaking Breeze

The Creaking Breeze Ensemble

with Evie Ward - voice Ute Kanngiesser - cello Billy Steiger - vioin, piano Seymour Wright - alto saxophone Paul Abbott - acoustic drums, synthetic sound & Nathaniel Mackey - voice, readings, vinyl

“The idea for the Creaking Breeze Ensemble emerged in 2016 in response to a reading of Mackey's books by a group of musicians, writers and artists closely connected to the creative community around Cafe OTO in East London: Billy Steiger, Evie Ward, Paul Abbott, Ute Kanngiesser and Seymour Wright. Each have their own distinct voice, and respective connection with the musical traditions at the core of From A Broken Bottle. As a group of artists they felt that what Mackey explored as the making of a fictional music articulated something close to their actual, respective and overlapping musical lives. The group was named and so doing established a space for them to undertake an on-going 'reading' of the novels.”
