Fitkin

Fitkin is made up of some of the UK's finest musicians, devoted to playing Graham Fitkin's genre-twisting music of astonishing rhythmic complexity and outrageous jauntiness. In the photo above, Graham performs portions of his lounge act, seemingly oblivious to the fact that it's actually a bass clarinet he's singing into. Upcoming concerts include gigs in Penzance, Nottingham, King's Place (London) and the Oxford Contemporary Music Festival.

"Elusive Symmetry"

"Elusive Symmetry" is an exciting new project bringing together the talents of harpist Eleanor Turner, hip-hop dancer Lizzie Gough and me. Inspired by the work of the Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, I've composed a series of pieces for harp and guitar with live electronics. Lizzie adds her unique approach to hip-hop dance for a really special live experience.
