about

On May 11th, 2017, Brooklyn-based saxophonist Sarah Manning and London-based guitarist Alex Ward met for the first time at the Hundred Years Gallery in Hoxton, East London. They descended underground into the long and narrow basement, where even the slightest sounds reverberated off the brick walls and concrete floor. With silver-plated brass shaped on a mandrel nearly a century ago, and wood amplified and refined by magnets, copper wire, and electric circuitry, they extracted urgent new music in the presence of visual art and a live audience.

All proceeds for the month of September 2020 will go to Hundred Years Arts, a not-for-profit Community Interest Company supporting experimental music and the visual arts in Hoxton, East London.
