成人快手

Join Elizabeth Alker at Peel Hall in Salford for an evening of genre-blurring musical collaboration recorded on the opening night of Fat Out Fest. Erased Tapes artists Penguin Cafe, Rival Consoles, Douglas Dare and Hatis Noit join members of the 成人快手 Philharmonic Orchestra on stage to trade songs and premiere specially-arranged reworkings of their music.

Erased Tapes was formed in 2007 by Robert Raths and has been a key player in the melding of the contemporary classical and ambient electronic scenes over the past decade. At Fat Out, a quartet of both established and newly-signed label artists join together for a unique in-the-round performance led by local conductor Ellie Slorach.

In the music of Japanese vocalist Hatis Noit we encounter the sounds of experimental and classical traditions as well as sacred chant idioms, folk styles and avant-garde approaches, all of which are delicately layered and intuitively combined. Fellow Londoner and labelmate Rival Consoles, meanwhile, creates synthesiser journeys in which energy and rhythmic optimism are balanced by a harmonic palette shot through with wistfulness. Joining them are Douglas Dare whose modern chamber music brings sublime fragility and poise, as well as Penguin Cafe, the pared-down continuation of the legendary avant-pop orchestra led by Arthur Jeffes.
