The brief is that within an hours drive of Manchester are many musicians from the free improvised music (and associated leaning) who generally do not meet and play on any significant basis : or so it seems. Somehow geography, boundaries keep us apart, where-as in London the same distances either measured in miles /or time travelled doesn’t keep artists apart; i.e. there is more of a mixing up and playing together. The aim of Centrifuge is to change this isolation and seperation, by delivering a concert format that enables a sharing and celebration that is: free improvisation in music, for musicians resident in the "north".
Come to Centrifuge and enjoy the regions exciting fusion of voices, sound and musics
