For their second Daylight Music at the EFG London Jazz Festival, Goldsmiths Music present three eclectic, post-genre sets that celebrate the spaces in between Jazz, Electronic, Noise, Ecology, Experimental and Contemporary Classical, with original compositions, improvisations, and mixed media. Combining instrumental and vocal creative work developed as part of their Masters Programmes in Performance and Sonic Arts, and the BMus in Music degree, graduates, current students and staff combine and collaborate in a spirit of experimentation to explore new meeting places for sonic creativity.

The curation will include Iris Garrelfs with Goldsmiths Improviser Collective in a performance which includes all manner of instruments, technologies, voices and crisp packets - plus ensembles led by musicians and composers Katy Neve (Fahaka), Tom Pardoe-Matthews (SlowWormHole) and Mathew Follis.

SlowWormHole fuses instrumental music together with electronics, improvisation and heavy riffs. Exploring the relation between the audience, music, time and space. It is both intrusive and ecstatic. The band relies on a memory. An embodied knowledge. An improvised approach to creating music. It is the freedom to create and change. Sound as sharing, people coming together. Sound as individual, it’s about dreaming. Painting time.

London based Fahaka present their eclectic fusion of acoustic folk, jazz and avant garde, take inspiration from Charles Mingus, Joni Mitchell, Abel Selaocoe and Kinkajous. Folk inspiration is rooted in the musical upbringing of the group in different ways taking influence from trad folk and singer-songwriter material entering a sense of comfort and childlike joy. The group take a raw and acoustic approach to their compositions holding audiences in a gripping musical journey.

Mathew Follis is a Welsh guitarist operating within the fields of contemporary jazz and improvised music. Follis’ work mainly concerns itself with smaller format jazz ensembles, performing a mixture of original compositions alongside sections of group free improvisation these two contrasting approaches to music work seamlessly together. Performing music from May 2024’s ‘Crosstalk’, written with co-performer and composer Charlie Hall, as well as unreleased compositions and improvisations.
