Music: Shabaka Hutchings
Saxophonist and composer Shabaka Hutchings, recently nominated for the 2016 Mercury Prize as part of the band The Comet is Coming, reveals some of his processes in making music arrangements by creating a live composition in our Artists’ Studio. Inviting an array of musicians to contribute throughout the afternoon, the composition will layer the various parts written by Hutchings.
This event is programmed alongside Making & Unmaking: An exhibition curated by Duro Olowu at Camden Arts Centre.
