Electronic in the Tower

A medieval tower. Modular synths. This only happens two or three times a year. Now in its 10th edition, Electronic in the Tower is TDC Tunes' intimate live series, "music made with wires" performed inside centuries old stone walls that do half the acoustic work themselves. This edition, TDC Tunes is joined by Klaus Bru, one of the only saxophonists in the world who plays exclusively on the rare C Melody and C Soprano saxophone, sounds you won't hear paired with modular electronics anywhere else in London. TDC Tunes makes music with wires. Modular synthesis is the core of it, but the sound sources don't stop there. Copper kettles, live radio, plants and whatever object happens to be within reach that night all form part of the instrument. Each performance is built unique and unrepeatable, drawing on released material but never repeating it. Some nights the audience becomes part of the instrument itself... More on TDC Tunes Klaus Bru exclusively plays the rare C-Melody sax and the even rarer C-soprano sax, often processing them with electronics, much in the way a guitarist would do. Klaus Bru’s artistic output surprises through its variety, and his musical concepts are not of the “out-of-the-box” type, — he prefers combinations of “boxes” that differ in size, contrast in contents, and clash in colour: He brings in the folk music of the world, avant-garde ridden improv, cold blooded electronic noises and feedbacks, pitches smaller than the distance between two adjacent keys on the piano, strange meters and odd tempos, plus – when the time is right and the mind is ready – sincere, singable melodies made to soothe the heart and the soul..
