Café Oto | 18 – 22 Ashwin Street, E8 3DL

A night of noise and improvisation at Cafe OTO, headlined by former Constellation recording artist and Toronto resident Eric Chenaux, who mixes guitar work with effect-laden strings and lots more. Dead Rat Orchestra, apparently from Madrid via Colchester, veer between heart-rending solo violin, mesmerising proto-folk and rhythmic noise. Braindead Collective features a rotating casts of London jazz-heads and improv stars headed up by Oxfordian instigator Sebastian Reynolds. They whip up unpredictable storms and eddies on brass, drums, woodwind and all kinds of pedals and sound sources, feeding on each others’ performances to climactic effect.
