about

In March of 2020, for the first time since its inception in 2008 Leicester's monthly Quadelectronic improvisation session at Quad Studios had to be cancelled due to hitherto unique and unprecedented circumstances: the public's enforced lockdown against contamination from Covid-19. As a nearest achievable alternative, Quadelectronic's "ringmaster" Chris Conway had the idea of doing it remotely via contributed solo recordings which could then be mixed into intuitive combinations. This album is the twenty-fifth installment in the series.

about

United Isolation Ensemble Leicester, UK

The United Isolation Ensemble was born when Covid-19 lockdown forced Leicester's monthly Quadelectronic nights to be put on hold. Rather than live group improvisation, the concept is for solo performance material sent via online transfer and combined into interesting and unexpected combinations. The project has been so successful that it continues wilfully oblivious to the ups and downs... ... more
