Plus-Minus: Bryn Harrison portrait

Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival

19:30, Sunday 23 November 2008
St Paul’s Hall
Queensgate
HD1 2RD Huddersfield Yorkshire

The quietly oscillating, hypnotic surfaces of Bryn Harrison (external link)’s music attempt to draw the listener into a delicate web of abstract patterns and near repetitions.

At once starkly simple, yet intricately complex, Harrison’s latest 40-minute piece is one of his most ambitious projects to date. Created almost as an abstract canvas, the piece draws on Harrison’s fascination with the passing of time, allowing the listener to become more and more absorbed in the texture of the music.

Plus-Minus (external link) is joined by guests from asamisimasa (external link) Anders Førisdal and Tanja Orning.
