Interview with Barry Guy (ENG)

In this episode of RMC Podcast you can listen to influential British bassist and composer Barry Guy in conversation with Torben Snekkestad.

Barry Guy talks about the early years of improvised music in London, how he developed his interest in graphic scores, the London Jazz Composers Orchestra, and the double bass as an instrument belonging equally to the early baroque music as well as contemporary improvised music.

Guy also talks about his recent work ‘Hotshop’, which was commissioned by RMC for an ensemble of students both from RMC and The Royal Danish Academy of Music, the inspiration for the work, working with the students and the score with both fully notated and improvisation parts.

The music used in this program all stems from the recording of the concert performance of the piece ‘Hotshop’ on the 4th of October 2019 in Brorsons Church in Copenhagen.
