It was the collaboration which flew between Julian and Dan who had no rehearsal but a natural affinity. Dan’s electronic layering of spoken vocals, recorded sound effects and super beat business inspired Julian’s sensitive but thrilling drum work.

Match&Fuse couldn’t have asked for more. Plaistow sold out their vinyl their set went down so well and Vyamanikal’s originality with two harmoinums and sax would not have been enough except for it being in the hands of Kit Downes and Tom Challenger. We’d never heard anything like it.

Le Taquin | Le Cap | Mix’Art Myrys | La Pause Musicale
With the music going on until dawn at Mix’Art Myrys this was one of the best parties Match&Fuse has had. Big congratulations to our partners, Les Productions du Vendredi for co-ordinating a rocking line up.
Highlights included Comet is Coming (smashed it), Pixvae (with their Latin energy) and the Eirik Tofte Match&Fuse Orchestra directed by Florian from Pulcinella. He taught the audience soundpainting techniques so they could join in this proper shared experience.
