Experimental bass improvisation from a composer, researcher and performer who refuses to play it safe.
Dr Simon Paton is a bassist and composer working at the intersection of classical training, contemporary improvisation and fearless experimentation. This is intimate, exploratory music-the kind of performance where every note is a choice and silence is just as important as sound.
Without End open the night, setting the stage for something entirely different. Two artists, one night, no compromise.
The kind of gig that challenges and rewards in equal measure-for listeners ready to discover something beyond the expected.
