The duo of Farida Amadou and Heather Leigh brings together two singular voices in contemporary experimental music. Working in the realm of free improvisation, they weave dense, visceral soundscapes where Amadou’s heavily processed electric bass collides with Leigh’s expansive, emotionally charged pedal steel guitar. Their music unfolds as a raw dialogue of texture, tension, and fleeting lyricism, constantly shifting between abstraction and deep sonic immersion. Their collaboration carries the spirit of their dearly belated friend and mentor, Peter Brötzmann, whose uncompromising approach to sound and improvisation continues to resonate through their work. Amadou and Leigh first performed as a duo at Cafe OTO in 2024, as part of the Brotz Festival honouring Brötzmann’s legacy. They later brought their collaboration to Summer Bummer Festival, further developing their intense and exploratory sonic language in a live setting. Flagey, Brussels Philharmonic € 15
