WOODLAND RUINS - for Campanula Quinton, microtonal prepared piano + interactive multi-channel wood-resonator installation
WOODLAND RUINS explores specific aspects of Just Intonation as a holistic philosophy and language for developing new musical composition and improvisation vocabularies. A microtonal phenomena, Just intonation explores the acoustic and resonant aspects of our surrounding nature and environment.
Inspired by deep ecology’s process oriented, animistic and panpsychist philosophy, the installation consists of recycled Canadian and Scandinavian woods.The discarded wood has been given new life. With careful sculpting of the wood and attaching transducers to the wood, each “tree” is able to tell a story through their own resonances and materiality. The pieces of wood act as electro-acoustic resonators whereby composed and improvised sounds can pass through.
Matt Choboter Canadian composer and pianist, Choboter’s music paints subliminal sound narratives between the cracks of avant-jazz, experimental and contemporary classical. Informed by non-western cultures and eclectic spiritualism, he embraces process psychology and dream work; immersive explorations into wild nature; a rather pantheistic existential orientation; and a musical practice which absorbs particular features of Just Intonation, South Indian classical and Balinese Gamelan. Contributing to labels such as Kairos (AU), Inner Circle Music (NY), ILK Music (DK) and Songlines Recordings (CA), his music has been described as - “at times heavy and impenetrable, at other times soft and ethereal, but always moving and ever transforming”. (David Sumner, Bandcamp). More info @ www.mattchoboter.com

Fred Frith: guitar (US/UK)
Lotte Anker & Fred Frith have collaborated for numerous years in various groups and ad hoc constellations. As a duo, they have developed a deep, intuitive mutual understanding of the music that unfolds in diverse and dynamic landscapes. Adventurous music exploring the now in everything from noise and sound textures, powerful expressions to fragmented or minimalist sonic spaces, glimpses of melodies, memory and silence. Anker & Frith released the highly acclaimed CD: Edge of the Light (Intakt Records) and have a new duo release in the works for 2026.
Multi-instrumentalist, composer, and improviser Fred Frith has been making noise of one kind or another for almost 50 years, starting with the iconic rock collective Henry Cow, which he co-founded with Tim Hodgkinson in 1968.
Fred is best known as a pioneering electric guitarist and improviser, songwriter, and composer for film, dance and theater. Through bands like Art Bears, Massacre, Skeleton Crew, Keep the Dog, the Fred Frith Guitar Quartet and Cosa Brava, he has stayed close to his roots in rock and folk music while branching out in many other directions.
His compositions have been performed by ensembles ranging from Arditti Quartet and the Ensemble Modern to Concerto Köln and Galax Quartet, from rock bands Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Ground Zero to the Glasgow Improvisers’ Orchestra. Fred has performed works by composers Gavin Bryars, Alvin Curran, George Lewis, René Lussier, Meredith Monk, Terry Riley, and Christian Wolff; improvised with Paolo Angeli, Lotte Anker, Derek Bailey, Lol Coxhill, Chris Cutler, Joëlle Léandre, Miya Masaoka, Phil Minton, Ikue Mori, Butch Morris, Evan Parker, Zeena Parkins, and Camel Zekri and recorded on albums by -for example- Brian Eno, Robert Wyatt, The Swans, Violent Femmes, John Zorn.
