Speech Muse
The Horse Hospital
Colonnade, WC1N 1JD
Wednesday April 22nd, doors 19:00
Speech Muse is a concert series that listens to the speaking voice in a musical context. For our tenth iteration, to mark Earth Day, we are joined by Neil Luck, Odie ji Ghast, and Eleanor Tennyson + BJ Holy (duo). Plus, entertainment from Reuben <3
NEIL LUCK is a musician based in the UK. His work often explores the pathos and interaction between live human performance and multimedia, and attempts to frame the act of music making as something curious, or weird, or useful, or spectacular in and of itself. Neil’s work takes a range of forms from music-theatre, to concert works, radio, public projects and recordings. He is the founder and director of the music-theatre ensemble ARCO; an experimental music-theatre company. ARCO has been commissioned to produce work for arts institutions, galleries and music institutions around the UK and overseas.
Eleanor Tennyson is a writer based in London. She is the author of two chapbooks, The Submissive and Half-Life, and co-edits Alice, a journal of contemporary poetry and the unconscious, forthcoming later this year. Ben Boswell is a London-based artist, musician and cocktail mixologist. His semi-improvised live shows contain notes of ambient, classical, trad folk, and club. His sound is shaped by the city: living in it and occasionally breaking out of it into somewhere else.
Odie ji Ghast is a Manchester based Lithuanian artist who plays with voice. She has been a part of improvised and noise scenes in the UK for over a decade, has several solo albums, and many collaborative projects. Her notable projects are and were Impossibility Knox, This Friendship is Sailing, Bad@Maths, Historically Fucked, and many more. Odie ji Ghast also produces music, writes poetry, works with nature, community and in education, and is raising a musical kid. Music is thickly woven into her every day.
