Nu Orchestra Civilisation
As part of London Unwrapped at Kings Place, Nu Civilisation Orchestra presented a sonic and visual tribute to Joe Harriott, the legendary free-form Jamaican jazz genius who settled in London in 1952 and went on to explore the sounds of the city and the musicians he met there to create his own characteristic style of jazz.
I worked on the live visuals in parallel with the musicians to add an immersive, multi-dimensional improvised tribute to Harriott’s music.
For this specially commissioned performance supported by Arts Council England, an 11-piece Nu Civilisation Orchestra focused on the music of Harriott’s Abstract era and his distinctive and demanding method of group improvisation, which emphasised a dialogue between musicians rather than individual solos, challenging instrumentalists to re-orientate their playing and create an ever-shifting soundscape.
