Red Note

Lâchez Tout! (Enough Already) – Ghent, Belgium
2014-12-04 20:00 - 22:30 (Europe/London) | Muziekcentrum De Bijloke, Jozef Kluyskensstraat 2, Ghent, 9000, Belgium
François Sarhan, composer in residence at the National Theatre in Orleans between 2009 and 2012 is simultaneously a cellist, composer, author, encyclopaedist, and a creator of stop motion animation and film. Lachez Tout is a concert and silent film with live music, actors and two foley (film sound-effect) artists, with François Sarhan himself performing on stage. Circassian actor Claudio Stellato plays Bobok, the central character of the film, and the Foley Artists create the sounds of the doors slamming, the footsteps and the passing trucks. Lachez Tout is a total experience halfway between a detective story and a philosophical tragicomedy.
This production was originally premiered at the Tramway in Glasgow, and subsequently performed at Summerhall in Edinburgh and at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival 2013.

Noisy Nights - Course for Composers
2014-11-14 - 2014-11-16 | Summerhall, Summerhall Pl., Edinburgh, EH9 1QH, United Kingdom
5 selected participants will be required to bring to the course a new work (8 – 10 minutes in duration) for string quartet (2Vn, Va, Vc) which will be workshopped, rehearsed and revised with the players over the period 14th – 16th November.
Participants will be selected from an open call. Please apply by email to john (at) rednoteensemble.com with:
* 2 examples of recent work (pdf only, no sound files)
* a short (1/2 page) biography
* a short (100 word) statement explaining why you want to write a new 10 minute work for string quartet
by 5pm on 6th October at the latest. Participants will be notified by 15th October and will then be expected to write the first draft of the new work over the following month.
This opportunity is particularly offered to participants who wish to develop their practice as composers, and priority will be given to those applicants who demonstrate that they will make use of the course in this way. We expect the work to be written to be a new one, not a re-presentation of a previous piece.
Please note that, whilst the course is free to participants, Red Note cannot offer financial assistance with travel, accommodation or other attendance costs, and participants must be available for the whole time of the course. Participants will also be expected to revise their works during the course as necessary; office facilities on-site including a printer will be provided for this.

Sounding Brass
2014-09-15 15:00 - 17:00 | The Power House at Prestongrange Museum, Morrisons Haven, Prestonpans, East Lothian, EH32 9RX, United Kingdom
The site of Prestongrange’s museum has a fascinating industrial history going back to the 16th Century including glass, pottery and brick manufacture as well as mining. The impressive, high-roofed Power House is perfect for this exciting programme of music for brass. The Red Note Ensemble contrast sonorous pieces from the Renaissance with the amazing, spatial effects of contemporary music by composers such as Harvey and Birtwistle. The overwhelming, surround-sound beauty of Jonathan Harvey’s Ricercare played by trumpet virtuoso Mark O’Keeffe makes a fitting climax to a very special event.
“O’Keeffe’s playing was undemonstratively sensational. A stupendous performance” – The Herald

Red Note & Rogalski - Adams, Barber, Bingham & Vaughan Williams
2014-07-12 19:30 - 22:00 | All Saints’ Church, Lydd, Kent, TN29 9AY
Barber’s Adagio is regularly voted one of the most popular pieces of music ever written. Away from the concert platform, it has featured in many films including The Elephant Man (David Lynch) and Platoon (Oliver Stone).
John Adams’ shimmering, minimalist masterpiece, Shaker Loops, is a mainstay of Red Note, Scotland’s finest contemporary music ensemble. It mesmorises, even hypnotises its audience!
Two JAM commissions by Judith Bingham are included. The Hythe was premiered in 2012 by Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, live on Radio 3. They performed it in London and Hythe, before Red Note took it to Edinburgh, Glasgow and St Andrews last year. Her Oboe Concerto is written for the brilliant Polish oboist, Michal Rogalski. Its subject is the eerie tale of The Angel of Mons, when a group of angels allegedly protected members of the British Army at the outset of World War 1.

A familiar figure around the West End, Eddie McGuire is one of Scotland’s most well known composers.

Elbow Room by Thomas Butler
2014-05-21 20:00 - 2014-05-22 22:00 | Various Venues, United Kingdom
Red Note’s Sound and Music Embedded Composer in Residence, Thomas Butler‘s new work Elbow Room explores the psychogeography of cites; how we affect the city and how the city affects us.
The culmination of an 18 month residency with Red Note, Elbow Room uses composition, performance and field recording techniques to tell the story of the mid-twentieth century plan to demolish the city of Glasgow and replace it with a futuristic concrete utopia; an architect’s view of a healthier, more rational and productive city, for a healthier, more rational and productive population.
Mixing period films from the Scottish Screen Archive, which extol the virtues of the Glasgow of the future, with new sound recordings made in the city and a virtuosic score featuring violin, cello, percussion, electric guitar, synthesizer, clarinet and bass clarinet, Elbow Room is a nostalgic reflection upon fantasy and reality, ideal and actuality.

We’ve decided to don our Red Note Santa Robes this Monday Night, 9th December, for a very special Christmas Noisy Night, and we really hope you will join us. With a santa hat, if you wish …

We’ve got sing-a-long Noisy Night pieces for you, the audience to join in with, we’ve got funny pieces, we’ve got serious pieces, and we’ve got wild pieces that’ll leave you scratching your head in bewilderment.
Who said contemporary music wasn’t supposed to be fun?!
Do come to the Red Note Noisy Night Christmas Special, Monday 9th December 8pm, in the Bar of the Traverse Theatre, FREE!
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Enough Already
2013-11-17 16:00 - 18:00 | Lawrence Batley Theatre, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, HD1 2SP, United Kingdom
LOD|muziektheater / Red Note Ensemble / François Sarhan
A music-theatre performance created by French composer and artist François Sarhan, ENOUGH ALREADY tells the story of Bobok, a man whose reading of a mysterious encyclopaedia drives him to take extreme action. Performed by an actor, five musicians and two live foley artists, and featuring film, stop-frame animation and fantastical costumes, ENOUGH ALREADY is a secular parable of real life versus idealism in which meanings and relations between people, objects and events become ever more unclear and ambiguous.
Co-produced by LOD|muziektheater and Red Note Ensemble; supported by Diaphonique and Creative Scotland

Enough Already
2013-11-12 19:45 - 2013-11-13 21:15 | Summerhall, Summerhall Pl., Edinburgh, EH9 1QH, United Kingdom
François Sarhan/Red Note Ensemble/LOD Music Theatre
“Enough Already” (French title “Lâchez Tout”) is a major new music-theatre performance created by French composer-artist François Sarhan, featuring actor Claudio Stellato, five musicians from Red Note Ensemble, two live sound effect artists, extensive stop-frame animation, and film. “Enough Already” is a secular parable in which meanings and relations between people, objects and events become increasingly absurd and ambiguous as time goes on.
The 5 musicians from Red Note Ensemble – previously seen at Summerhall with “The End of the World Show” – virtuosically sing, narrate and play a strange assortment of musical instruments including a tubax, a Stroh violin, and the mysterious Sixxen …
“Enough Already” is a co-production between LOD|muziektheater (Belgium) and Red Note Ensemble (Scotland).

Enough Already
2013-11-07 19:30 - 2013-11-09 22:00 | Tramway, Glasgow Tramway, Glasgow, G41 2PE, United Kingdom
LOD|muziektheater / Red Note Ensemble / François Sarhan
François Sarhan’s Enough Already is a concert, a film and a play rolled into one, about how irresistible — and impossible — it is to achieve utopia.

Enough Already is centred around two characters — Professor Glaçon, author of an imaginary encyclopaedia full of wonderful, absurd, funny and uncreatable things — and Bobok, a fanatical, naive man who wanders around with the same encyclopaedia under his arm. Bobok desperately wants the wonderful things in Professor Glaçon’s book to be true, against all the evidence that they can’t be — and he is prepared to go to almost any lengths to make them happen.

We follow Bobok’s journey as it begins on stage, and then becomes a silent film with live music and live sound effects. On-stage sound artists provide the accompanying slamming doors, footsteps and lorries passing by, and the musicians of Red Note Ensemble accompany Bobok by singing and narrating live at the same time as playing their instruments.

The five musicians from Red Note Ensemble – previously seen at Tramway in David Shrigley’s Pass the Spoon – play a strange assortment of musical instruments including a tubax (which is a sort of ultra-bass saxophone), a Stroh violin (a violin with a gramophone horn attached), and an electronically-controlled church pipe organ.

More than a story, Enough Already is an all-embracing theatrical, musical and filmic experience. Come and let yourself be carried along in Bobok’s absurd, upside-down and hugely entertaining world!

This is the world premiere; the show will tour Europe in 2014.

Enough Already is a co-production between LOD|muziektheater (Belgium) and Red Note Ensemble (Scotland).
