British synth wizard James Holden meets Polish clarinet guru Waclaw Zimpel to form Holden & Zimpel: a collaborative alliance wherein these two versatile modern composers might explore their deepest improvisational urges in an intimate setting, to strikingly lush, hypnotic and deeply emotive effect.  Two like-minded masters of their instrument come together in an in-the-moment lyrical conversation between alto clarinet and modular synth, cementing the joyful convergence of their disparate musical journeys in an explosion of raw musical creativity in its most primal form.

They perform in the round using the venue's 360° spatial soundsystem, d&b Soundscape.

Support from Leeds-based multi-instrumentalist and producer, Duffin.

Set times:

7.30pm: Doors
8pm: Duffin
9pm: Holden & Zimpel
10.30pm: Curfew
