About
Multi-talented singer/visual artist Paula Rae Gibson presents music from her latest albums ‘The Roles We Play To Disappear’, and ‘Loving In Real Time’, immersive works that mixes experimental songs, ambient electronica and avant-jazz. She will be accompanied by electronic musician and trumpeter Alex Bonney and the fearlessly unpredictable pianist and synthesist Matthew Bourne
Review for ‘The Roles We Play To Disappear:
“There are reminders of Portishead, of Annette Peacock in the way that she navigates the shadows and waves of the electronic/instrumental backdrop but also of Blemish era David Sylvian. Elsewhere, Luft’s guitars have the plangent quality of Bill Frisell’s on Paths, Prints, Kit Downes’ cello, emanates from a similar suspension to Arthur Russell’s World Of Echo, and Alex Bonney’s trumpets resound and chatter with frantic luminosity in the darkness, a la Mongezi Feza or Don Cherry. The insistent electronics and beats, add a sense of emotional urgency amid the stillness, hovering with all the indifference of a cold universe to our individual fates.” Jazzwise
Review for ‘Loving In Real Time’
‘Paula Rae Gibson and Matthew Bourne’s Loving In Real Time is the reflection of that haunting understanding that comes with tenderness, and is one that at times safely overwhelms the listener, catching them unawares of the unfolding poignant and touching way each song conveys a heartfelt meaning, an imploring of the volatile and contemplative movements and compromise’ Liverpool Sound and Vision
