SUMMARY:‘Jump’ a performance for clarinet and insect and amphibian sounds
DESCRIPTION:Once upon a time in a meadow far away…the joint was jumping with life. Insects were calling, frogs croaking, the sounds of summer. But this symphony of small voices is rapidly being silenced.\nA celebration of nature and a call to arms, in JUMP, field recordings of insects and amphibians become part of an exciting musical score, taking audiences on an enchanting musical journey into their world.\nWritten and performed by the hugely talented Karen Wimhurst, Karen introduces the audience to 9 creatures including crickets, grasshoppers and toads.\nEach movement opens with a close imitation of the creature’s song, to be joined by Karen on live multi-tracked clarinet for a work that draws on classical and jazz in a hugely engaging duet.\nBeautiful, vibrant videos, drawing on close up images of the amazing creatures heard in the music and created by multi-media artist Sonia Killmann, will accompany the performance.\nJUMP is an act of artistic engagement with these disappearing voices, a moment of reimagining our human selves. Inspired as merely one small voice within nature’s vast soundscape.\nLet’s move into a world in which we all leap, bound, hop, bounce, skip, bob, caper, trill, whirr, croak, buzz, chirp, squeak, chirrup and jump for joy with the best of them.\nMany precious voices across the globe are vanishing fast. Hold on to them for dear life.\nJump is a musical collaboration between composer Karen Wimhurst, entomologist (insect expert) Peter Smithers hon. FRES and bio acoustician Charlie Woodrow.\nProduced by Sound UK. Funded by Arts Council England.\nPeter Smithers (eminent entomologist,  ex vice chair of the Royal Entomological Society) is giving an introductory presentation including talking about his latest book Small Game Hunter before the performance\n.\nhttps://www.bramblebybooks.co.uk/book/small-game-hunter/\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSmall Game Hunter – Brambleby Books\nIn Small Game Hunter, a biography, the author guides you through numerous encounters with insects and spiders he has experienced throughout his career.From a fascination with moths and light traps to chasing the elegance of damsel- and dragonflies. From his special interest with the complex world of spiders to insect farming as a future food for a growing human population.\nwww.bramblebybooks.co.uk\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday 26 June 6pm \nAdult £10, Child £4, Family £20 \n“JUMP is a marvellous musical rendition of the sounds of nature.”\n\n
