play lo-fi play hi-fi  miracle of the sun (excerpt)
play lo-fi play hi-fi  A beautiful silver sadness
play lo-fi play hi-fi  Questions without Answers
play lo-fi play hi-fi  flutes were playing as the sun dimmed
play lo-fi play hi-fi  and showers of petals cascaded down
play lo-fi play hi-fi  whispers on the rain
The Cambridge Free Improvisation Society is an informal musical collective whose members are students at Cambridge University. We gather to freely improvise during sessions which are held on and off during Term times. We have performed occasional concerts and, for the past few months, have been recording the irregular jam sessions we hold in various college music rooms. Selections of these recordings are now being made available online, including 'Miracle of the Sun', an hour-long improvisation which will be available in CD-R form at gigs or on request. Feedback is welcome, and indeed encouraged.
Why this name?
It seemed the obvious choice, from the beginning
Do you play live?
A few gigs in Cambridge so far, which have been none too well attended - hopefully more to come soon though!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
in a myriad of different ways
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
well that's never going to happen anyway, is it...
Your influences?
the members of the society are often from completely different musical backgrounds, so there are a wide range of influences. what the music sounds like depends on what particular grouping of people shows up on what day...the primary influence is probably modern classical music, but recently ambient/drone/noise elements have also started to creep in.
Favorite spot?
Cambridge, I suppose.
Equipment used:
pianos, instruments, guitar amps, laptop
