SUMMARY:Melting Vinyl Presents: Group Listening + Place Metal Strings @ The
  Rose Hill
DESCRIPTION:Group Listening are Paul Jones [piano] &amp\; Stephen Black [cl
 arinet].\n\nTheir new album 'Clarinet &amp\; Piano: Selected Works\, Vol.2
 ' will be released on PRAH Recordings in January 2022.\n\n'Clarinet &amp\;
  Piano: Selected Works\, Vol.1' was a haunting\, reflective and lovingly c
 onsidered selection box of musical reworkings. It featured reimagined trac
 ks by the likes of Arthur Russell\, Brian Eno and Robert Wyatt. But it was
  also much more than that. In making their own record of reimagined musica
 l works\, the two musicians were doing what all music fans do: comparing f
 avourite tracks\, turning each piece over for new meaning and developing a
  musical understanding of each other in the process.\n\nFast forward a cou
 ple of years\, and with a remix album of Vol.1\, a 12” featuring a rewor
 ked version of the Fatima Yamaha club staple What’s A Girl To Do?\, a ra
 dically re- composed remix for Lambchop and an EP of re-arranged works fro
 m Cate Le Bon’s LP\, Reward under their belt (who Stephen performs with 
 as well as Gruff Rhys\, also he is A.K.A. Sweet Baboo)\, the duo started '
 Clarinet &amp\; Piano: Selected Works\, Vol.2' from an altogether differen
 t vantage point. “We’ve done a lot more together now and so have devel
 oped certain ways of working. Because these processes have become norms\, 
 it’s spurred us on to push things a bit further and to avoid repeating o
 urselves” they say.\n\nAs a result\, the overall tone is thought-provoki
 ng and engagingly unique\, retaining an air of abstraction that permits th
 e mind to wander\, wonder and dream. The pieces are presented as points of
  stimulus\, ports from which to embark on a journey towards other musical 
 landscapes.\n\nThe pair are constantly seeking to subvert the minimalism o
 f their sonic palette\, creating a subtle but constant tension that every 
 now and then catalyses’ the music to somewhere unexpected. Take their br
 ight arrangement of Laraaji’s All Of A Sudden\, and the addition of a dr
 um machine that adds a sprightly propulsive edge\; or their take of Niger 
 synth pioneer Mamman Sani’s 500 Miles\, which brings into focus the orig
 inal’s psychedelic queasiness through the use of old answerphone message
 s and environmental noises\, even as the instrumentation behind it is stri
 pped right down.\n\nIt’s in the way that Group Listening are able to pro
 d\, probe and contort the self-defined parameters that they’ve set thems
 elves that makes 'Clarinet &amp\; Piano: Selected Works\, Vol.2' such an i
 ntriguing listen – and it’s the love and care they’ve taken over it 
 that makes these versions entirely their own.\n\n+ Support from Place Meta
 l Strings\n\nPlace Metal Strings are Jez Riley French [field recordings]\,
  Adam Bushell [vibraphone] and Alice Eldridge [cello]. Coming together for
  the first time as a trio for Sound Art Festival Brighton\, these three im
 provisers have decades of sonic interactions in their shared histories of 
 friendship and musical collaboration. Textured harmonic patterned planes g
