10th November, 8pm, The Waiting Room

Siema Ziemia hail from Poland and come together as an electronic-inspired quartet, which draws an energy from collective improvisation.

This is a UK premiere of their album ‘Second’ due for release this autumn by Byrd Out, part of the EFG London Jazz Festival.

Line up:

Kacper Krupa – tenor saxophone/synth
Fryderyk Szulgit – guitar/synth

“This is seriously good” Tom Ravenscroft (BBC 6 Music)

“Wow….that was a trip!” Worm Disco Club

With support from saxophonist and composer Lara Jones.

“Lara threads energetic layers of improvised electronics inspired by 90s big beat classics, and her own sampled voice projecting a sense of fragility and defiance in equal measure. Really powerful stuff.” Gazelle Twin

Footprints is a project funded by the European Union within the framework of the Creative Europe program.

This is an 18+ event

Presented by B Side Events and Byrd Out in conjunction with Dalston’s Soda
