Saturday 14 July / 8.30pm / £6 advance/£7 on the door 

Amalgam brings together five Bristol musicians of different backgrounds for a live collaboration. In various combinations throughout the night the musicians may create sounds that cross through electronica, free jazz, dark ambient, musique concrète and dubstep. Or they may not. Be part of this unique experience where the unexpected happens. 

H (Héloïse Thibault) is a French musician who uses electronics and tapes to create blissful drones and ritualistic rhythms. She also runs the record label Zamzam Records.
