ECOSONIC Ensemble headline at the second in Bath University's experimental music and sonic art nights on Friday February 29, at in the intimate space of Studio 1, ICIA Arts Complex, University of Bath.

Ecosonic Ensemble explores new ways of making music using both traditional and electro-acoustic instruments and aims to unleash the dynamic between sound, movement and emotion. Each performer in the ensemble has a partner playing an identical instrument and the acoustic instruments are mirrored by an electro-acoustic ouija board'. Played through hand movements, it draws forth sounds in response to group gestures, creating a unique and compelling texture, echoing other times and places.

Ecosonic Ensemble features Stephen Preston on baroque flute; Eva Caballero, from Barcelona, on baroque flute; Thomas Gardner, a composer, improviser and cellist; Laura Reid on cello and Peter Coyte, composer, on ouija board'.

The supporting acts explore themes around memory and space and include Paul Bradley, Belfast-born, who helped to found legendary Bristol-based metapopsters Me (cited by Radiohead as an influence), as well as pioneering Bristolian flamenco/roots/fusion ensemble the Midnight Brothers. Paul then led Organelles a notoriously uncategorisable' enterainmentartrock project. The evening also includes work by Richard Pearce and Lea Pischke.

IF world music is more your thing, then don't miss Elephant Talk, the five-piece Celtic fused world-beat band, who have included Chippenham on their current UK tour.

Festival favourites Elephant Talk have been described as "simply the most vibrant and original dance fusion sound around" and will make a rare appearance at The Old Road Tavern, Chippenham on March 7.

The band reformed in 2005 and the line-up now features Jenny Crook on electric harp, astonishing Gypsy/Irish fiddle player Aaron Catlow and Dorian Sutton's funky double-bass grooves alongside founder members Adrian Sykes and Jon Maybeym, who continue to play flutes, whistles, guitar and tabla with "live" loops, beats and electronic gadgetry.

This band are not easily categorised but their skilled musicianship seamlessly combines driving Celtic and Eastern European melodies with hypnotic rhythms that provide music for the head, heart and dance floor.
