HCMF concert 2022

daniel weaver — Fri, 25 Aug 2023 13:32:34 +0000

As part of the Freedom to Move programme I performed a concert with Dan Bridgwood-Hill/DBH and 5 vocalists:

Alice Brookes
Ben Spatz
Kirsty Ferguson Lewis
Stephanie Lampera
Supriya Nagarajan.

Under the direction of Sofia Jernberg, 5 vocalists, accomplished in their own right explored concepts of instant composition, leading to 5 performances by each singer, using the 2 Dans as their pliable, orchestra. Each brought a singular approach, ranging from Supriya deeply rooted in the Carnatac vocal tradition, to Ben’s more theatrical or storytelling experience.

anonymous bash

A new post on an old event = a new Charles Hayward album recorded at Islington Mill as part of a Samarbetta residency, I played guitar on a few tracks, some electric bass, some voice and metalic interjections.

in limited edition Vinyl with download code.

I always love to play with powerful drummers and Charles Hayward is certainly one of those. Charles attracted a diverse gaggle of musicians to engage in his strange process of guiding/misguiding us through improvisations into recordings - which were edited, juxtaposed and finally printed on this nice heavy vinyl. More special for me as this was the first time I actually played with both brothers (Chris and Sam) at the same time…. to be continued….

Generation Air – Spacecadets Air design

spacecadets air design

Happy to have finished/installed sounds for Jamima Latimer’s installation – Generation Air at Durham DLI gallery.

Here’s a suggestion of the sounds you would hear.
Installation soundtracks by daniel weaver

Some of these are triggered by motion sensors so if you move a lot or there are lots of visitors you will hear a noisier soundscape. A lot of the time it’s fairly quiet. Sit or lie still on the big cushions and you can simply regress to the womb.

Installation goes to Ashton-under-Lyne Art Gallery, Berwick Visual Arts and Towneley Hal in Burnley later in the year.

This seems to follow really nicely from the Body stories installation which focussed on skin and bone; this one goes even more internal.

great gig at Islington Mill last friday

rehearsals/improvisations with Charles Hayward, Sam Weaver, Chris Weaver and Daniel Weaver.

Really enjoyed playing at Islington Mill on the friday of Fatout fest, with Charles Hayward. Charles lead local musicians in an inspiring week of collaborations and improvisation, leading to a storming gig. Ranging from nervy No wave/free rock to clouds of ghosts, the week was filled with great moments, healthy clashes and surprising invention. Plus an opportunity to play with 2 of my brothers – Chris and Sam.

short video exerpt “Complex Futures” live at Burgess Foundation

daniel weaver — Tue, 15 Apr 2014 09:22:51 +0000

A short clip from John Richards, kindly uploaded to Facebook from the first gig of our tour and attracting highbrow comments already. It’s striking to me how the intro in isolation gives little indication of where the piece ends up, so I hope you’ll enjoy it live sometime soon. I will be recording this piece with the help of Sam Weaver at Islington Mill soon. Let me know what you thought/think…
