A special Safehouse double bill featuring Japanese pianist Yoko Miura.
Yoko Miura is a pianist currently living in Fukuoka, Japan. Born in Tokyo, she started studying classical piano from the age of 5 and later became interested in jazz and improvised music. She says of her musical approach: “I am trying to make a kind of different universes interweaving and exchanging with different process, values and ways, with people, not only the musicians but also painters and dancers”. She has performed and recorded with many players including Gianni Mimmo John Russell, Lawrence Casserley, Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg, Mia Zabelka, the Glasgow Improvisors Orchestra and many more.
Concentrating these days on improvised music, free jazz and contemporary music, double bassist Gus Garside plays in several different groupings including his longstanding string trio Arc (with Sylvia Hallett and Danny Kingshill). He has worked on three highly acclaimed albums as part of the Ron Caines/Martin Archer Axis and a duo album with the French saxophone player Hervé Perez released on the New York 577 label in 2021. He has created structured improvisations for performance in the UK and Canada featuring leading players in both countries and is making a welcome return to working with dance building a project with Mim King. He was a founding member of the Brighton Safehouse collective.
James Parsons is a drummer with an affinity for free, improvised playing, and has performed in a wide range of groups over the years including Bolide, Ron Caines Trio, Bare Springs, God’s Teeth and the Interstellar Tropics, The Burbling Mind and Grass Balloon.
Viv Corringham is a US-based British vocalist and sound artist, described as “a vital force in improvised music since the late 1970s” (Corey Mwamba, BBC Radio 3). She has worked with many musicians including Pauline Oliveros, Charles Hayward, Mike Cooper, Elliott Sharp, and Maggie Nicols. She has done concerts and sound work in twenty-six countries in venues such as Hong Kong Arts Centre, Fonoteca Nacional de Mexico, Issue Project Room New York, and Institute of Contemporary Art London. “From cool Brion Gysin–esque wordplay to looped and multilayered operatic wails” (The Wire).
Lawrence Casserley has devoted his career to the creation and promotion of live performance electronic music in a wide variety of ways. He has worked with many of the leading improvisers, particularly Evan Parker and his Electracoustic Ensemble. Casserley’s instrumental approach to live computer sound processing is the hallmark of his work, which is documented on many CDs, and he has performed and given workshops throughout Europe and in North and South America, Asia and Japan.

About on the edgel
On The Edge is a regular performance night, where we bring in better-known and sometimes out-of-town musicians and groups who have an emphasis on improvisation in their work. We try to precede the headliner with an established, local musician or group. The night is opened with the Wildcard Quartet, which is made up of names that have been picked out of a hat at the preceding Safehouse open session.

About safehouse
Safehouse Brighton is a collective that hosts two separate nights that focus on improvised and experimental music: Safehouse, on the first Wednesday of every month, and On The Edge, on the last.
Safehouse is a regular open session, which is open to all musicians of all levels to improvise, sonically, in a conversational way. We have been using a format in which participants are picked out to be put into a small group that improvises for 10 minutes or so, while the remaining musicians act as audience, then the next group is formed and so on.
On The Edge is a regular performance night, where we bring in better-known and sometimes out-of-town musicians and groups who have an emphasis on improvisation in their work. We try to precede the headliner with an established, local musician or group.
