19:00-20:00 Live Performance: Haddow Invites,
FREE ENTRY, PAID CAFE AND BAR
A listening, instrument-building and performing workshop led by Rob Shuttleworth.
In the evening Rob (as - Haddow) presents an evening of live performances , including with invited guests Ariela Fisher, Phil Swan, and members of the Electronic Audio Club.
Join us to learn the basics of building, playing and improvising with a unique rudimentary stringed instrument. Side-stepping restrictive barriers to making music - too expensive, too complicated - in this workshop we will learn how to build a unique instrument.
We will begin with a deep listening walk around Thamesmead, engaging with TACO!’s sonic environment and foraging for scrap wood. Focusing on process not outcomes, we will learn to use piano wire, tuning pins and a few simple hand tools to create our own weird, stringed things. Then, with contact mics, effects and amplification we will explore ways of improvising together, learning to play and perform as we go. The workshop will conclude with a public live performance, with participants guided by Haddow.
Booking essential. Tickets on a sliding scale here.

Rob Shuttleworth/Haddow is a London based artist working across illustration, composition and performance. He makes work that thinks about place and time, using accessible materials and techniques to draw attention to material or personal details and experiences. He composes and performs under the depersonalised alias Haddow, improvising with varying sound sources, directly or indirectly, to create soundscapes as a kind of crystallised memory.
