An evening of scavenging through sound and music, in which each piece becomes a form of discovery. Some moments will unfold in real time, shaped by improvisation and the energy of the room, while others take form through four newly composed works. Together, these pieces explore the parallels between the group’s performance practice and the Victorian mudlarkers who once searched the edges of the Thames for overlooked treasures, finding value in what had been lost or discarded.
