With FIRE!, Mats Gustafsson, Johan Berthling (Tape) and Andreas Werliin (Wildbirds and Peace Drums) are building a new language of improvised music with inspiration drawn from garage rock, free jazz and Sweden’s esteemed history of electro-acoustic and experimental music. FIRE! is also a collaborative venture – at its most extreme expanding to an orchestral scale with an ensemble of 30 musicians. On this occasion FIRE! will be joined by Otomo Yoshihide one of the most important musicians of the Japanese underground/avant-garde. Otomo moves between free jazz, noise, improvisation, composition and the unclassifiable with a generosity that opens up the possibilities for expression in all of the constellations with which he’s involved.
Since opening back in 2008 Café OTO has consistently invited Japanese musicians over to perform in the venue. Many of these performances have involved new collaborations with British and European musicians.
This exchange of creative ideas is essential to what OTO is about and has formed a core part of our programme. This event fits firmly within that tradition.
