MK GALLERY: RICHARD J BIRKIN & KEMPER NORTON GO LIVE

Richard J Birkin (above) will be live at MK Gallery on Saturday (March 19) evening.

The one-time member of post-hardcore deliverers Crash of Rhinos goes anywhere and everywhere musically - from soundtracks and string quartets to intimate folk songs, ambient soundscapes, instrumentals and post-rock, via a little audio tinkering.

New album Vigils shows the fruits of his labour in string arrangements, a release focusing on the wonder of the human body and the way we break down communication to electrical impulses.

Admit it, you are intrigued...

Kemper Norton (above) is also on the bill, making use of digital and analogue hardware and software, acoustic instruments, field recordings and traditional song to explore neglected or original areas of landscape and folklore.

It's a blend described as 'coastal slurtronic folk.'

Admission is a fiver and doors open at 7.30pm.
