This evening’s programme is permeated by sounds of attraction. As if conjured up by magnetism, sounds are produced in the most diverse and imaginative ways when Gageego! plays limitless music by Cleare, Holloway-Nahum and Iannotta.
It is as if the music is invoked from whence it was previously barely possible to discern a contour of something. The words of philosopher Timothy Morton frame the entire process:
“Every aesthetic trace, every footprint of an object, sparkles with absence.
Sensual things are elegies to the disappearance of objects.”
Performed by

Conducted by composer Holloway-Nahum
American composer Aaron Holloway-Nahum has established himself as one of the key players on the British contemporary music scene. Although his career as a composer is impressive in its own right – he has composed on commission for, among others, the London Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Third Coast Percussion – he has also had time to immerse himself and achieve success as a recording producer, conductor and art entrepreneur.
Aaron Holloway-Nahum is the conductor, CEO and artistic director of The Riot Ensemble, an organization whose work has generated more than £650,000 in contributions to the performance of contemporary music and which has premiered more than 250 original compositions. Aaron Holloway-Nahum’s music has been performed in around 20 countries worldwide and is characterized by its many details, ornate timbres, bold melodic unisons and experimental narrative structures.
