⚪️ DUOT is Albert Cirera on saxophones and Ramon Prats on drums. Based in Catalunya, they are currently one of the most important groups in free jazz and improvised music on the Iberian Peninsula.
DUOT has performed in Spain, France, Belgium, the UK, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Iceland, the United States, and Russia. In 2012, they were awarded Best Group of the Year by the Catalan Association of Jazz and Modern Music Musicians (AMJM).
They’ve released seven albums: “Duot” (2008), “Cactus” (2011), “Live at Jamboree” (2015), “Food” (2017) with guitarist Andy Moor, “Fe” (2019), “Duot with Strings” (2023) featuring the Zarm String Quartet, and “Haiku” (2025).
🔵 Peter Simpson is a musician who is most notably a member of the Minimal Synth band Circuit Breaker. He has often deputized in the noise rock group Action Beat, whilst they are on tour, as they happen to be from quite near to where he grew up.
Upon moving to London nearly 20 years ago to be an art student, Peter fell in love with Free Improvisation, as a result of the myriad of regular nights on offer, and even had a go at promoting some gigs himself! Regrettably, its taken the interleaving decades for him to actually wrap his head around recording and performing in this particular modality. His intention is to make up for lost time.
Peter will be atoning for his ‘Rockist’ past with a set of impressionistic guitar abstraction. This evening will also be the (un)official release party for his album Guitar Solo, recorded with Two Ship’s Tullis Rennie, here in Hastings.
