Harry Christelis - Album Launch Concert

Guitarist and composer Harry Christelis presents his new album, Preserving Fictions - an exploration of how music and art can serve as a means to preserve and document the seeming truths we see, hear, feel, and experience every day.

This record sees Christelis delve deeper into a sound world that has become synonymous with his name, fusing elements of jazz and folk traditions with ambient drones and delicate electronic textures to create a truly immersive listening experience.Featuring Christelis' long-standing quartet, the highly acclaimed musicians break free from their traditional roles within the jazz idiom.

Instead, they embrace a deeply communal approach to improvisation, colouring, shaping, and delineating every moment of each piece together.

Across the adventurous album, the listener is taken on a journey that moves through dreamy psychedelic trips, expansive soundscapes, delicate moments of intimacy, and furious bursts of energy - all seamlessly bound by a tone that holds sombre and hopeful feelings in harmonious equilibrium.“With shades of ECM, Jon Hassell and late-'60s Miles Davis, these meditative, minimalist creations are imbued with offbeat beauty.” - MOJOHarry Christelis: guitarGeorge Crowley: saxophoneAndrea Di Biase: double bassDave Storey: drumsPresented by Harry Christelis.This is an 18+ event.
