A Splash of Free Impriovisation: present by Frakture Liverpool

Launched on the 22nd September 2004, initially Splash Gigs were delivered as batches, 2/3 gigs close together, featuring 2 or 3 "bands" on each night hence the name. Experience has produced a change and we now deliver 1-4 splash gigs spread a year. Splash gigs now invite musicians to meet and play free improvised music in a series of planned and random groupings as arranged on the night.

Musicians register and interest to play and then are invited to play.

Shunt

SHUNT: The Great Train Robbery, features local sonic artist Eric Wilson retrieving material from his Listening Room presentation SHUNT, large slices of plunderphonics, copyleft abuse, are diluted by occaisional mistakes which result in original material from our man Eric. A not to be missed high energy output ranging from the "age of steam" to excerpts from his "Your-a-star" TV series soundtrack.

Hyperion

Life sound and live painting duet, Hypnotic visual and auditory trip
Abstract art created in the most spontaneous means ever devised by human
minds miraculously influenced by (whilst paradoxically simultaneously
influencing) improvised soundscapes created using a multitude of unusual
instrumentation. A real treat for the eyes and ears. You can guarantee it.
