RC-300 Loop Station

Music as ephemeral art has lost much of its spontaneity and become a cage for the
singe, corseted in closed songs beforehand with specific melodies in a concerted and
determined way. The live show is a mere repetition with slight variations, not a
continuous and organic flow.
Through this project, in which the singer is alone on stage facing the audience, seeks
sincere and open to experimentation. The live show is something that is built at the
time, starting with a small serving of ground guides for improvisation and expression
in its purest and immediate state.

Vicky Trillo combines this formation with a MA in Cultural Management, especialized in
performing arts at Universidad de Valencia. In this field she opens her creativity to
interdisciplinar and experimental projects, that meet at the production tasks of Campo
de Desconcentración Polivalente Festival where she’s been working the last five years
as production and artistic manager and artist. Also she’s been working as a music
teacher for secondary public schools.
Currently she’s engaged to musical researching with improvisation and loop based
composition, as the work for Teatro de lo Inestable original music composing in 2010,
the collaboration on PEN/NEM (an audiovisual researching group) the last four years,
or Vicky Leaks project where she performs on her own with different instruments and
a loopstation.

Mikaela Khan and accompanying musicians deliver a folk founded performance with far reaching roots. With musical influences stretching from rural Hampshire to urban Bamako in West Africa, it’s hard to find one genre for this sound. But once described as ‘sophisti-folk’, Mikaela’s songs reflect a proud oral history, with stories of everything from family roots to political and philosophical confusion. As Mikaela says, ‘my aim is to make you leave a gig wondering why we were all ended up here, doing what we are doing…

Let Your Hair Down is a collective of young musicians from all corners of London, interested in a wide range of musical styles from different cultures. Blending folk music from around the world with improvisation, and sometimes with a hint of jazz, the group are able to transport themselves on physical and subconscious levels to new realms of understanding and harmony.
