12 Points Festival - Weds Sep 25

19:00 Emmeluth’s Amoeba (Norway)

Emmeluth’s Amoeba works with creative music that moves through characters of free jazz to chamber music-like shapes. They play with a fierce energy, leaving no audience member untouched. The brainchild of saxophonist Signe Emmeluth, the music benefits from her wild but perfectly executed leaps of intuition, in far-flung melodies and styles that turn on a hair from playful to primal. Emmeluth's Amoeba is supported at 12 Points 2024 by Norsk Jazz Forum.

20:15 Inui (France)

French quartet Inui takes inspiration from the songs of Inuit peoples and African hunter-gatherer tribes, contemporary jazz, and electronic trance music. The two vocalists express the breadth of the natural world from gentle images of birds hidden in forests, to the harshness of sea-pounded rocks. Maya Cros on keyboards and Dimitri Kogane on drums drive things forward with psychedelic ostinatos and a rock-tinged rhythmic engine. Inui is supported at 12 Points 2024 by Association Jazzé Croisé as part of Jazz Migration.

21:30 Fixity (Ireland)

From the southern coast of Ireland, drummer/composer Dan Walsh’s Fixity brings listeners on a rollercoaster of melodic and textural development. A 5-piece band bringing together improvisers from various fields of intrigue, Fixity explores the impossibility of repeated moments. Fixity is supported at 12 Points 2024 by Culture Ireland.
