Alex Paxton, NEC, HYPER DUO @ currents festival

Dive into the exuberant and unclassifiable universe of Alex Paxton (uk), the British composer and trombonist whose writing overflows with energy, colour and imagination. On a stage shared by the Nouvel Ensemble Contemporain (ch), HYPER DUO (ch), this four-part programme offers a dizzying journey through Paxton’s singular musical language, blending instrumental virtuosity, childlike humour and electronic experimentation.

Presented as part of the currents festival’s New Amsterdam Records showcase, this will be an event at the crossroads of jazz, contemporary music, noise and pop — for curious ears, open hearts, and traveling bodies.
