The Glad Cafe presents: Semay Wu + Frise Lumière + Howie Reeve

Semay Wu works as a composer, cellist/improviser, and media/sound artist. Greatly influenced by improvisational frameworks, Semay builds on interdisciplinary relationships through collaboration and spontaneity. Semay is also driven by a visual perspective, to encourage ideas for texture and ‘play’. Alongside performing, recent composed works have developed as video pieces, performance/interactive-installations, graphic scores, as well as working with communities for online digital presentation.

Frise Lumière is a personal project of Ludovic Gerst, refining the instrumentation to the bass alone. Everything comes from raw textures, a noise, a note… like a voiceless chant trying to come to life, to cast itself out of a body, out of a mouth, out of this page, this bass. Hit, stroke, hijacked, refined to only itself, this instrument becomes both melodic and rhythmic, turning into percussion, letting through other voices, other breaths…

Howie Reeve is a Glasgow-based acoustic bassist and vocalist. He has been a mainstay within Glasgow's DIY community for 20+ years and involved in numerous musical projects. Whilst Glasgow is his home, Howie tours frequently across Japan and Europe.
