Friday 26th JanuaryDoors 7.30pm, UKP 7/5 members / concessions The McCarricks Martin McCarrick - Cello/Piano Kimberlee McCarrick - Violin ".......dark, evocative, compelling, hypnotic, unsettling, strange and beautiful...." these are all words used to describe the unique audio visual experience delivered by cellist Martin McCarrick and violinist Kimberlee McCarrick. For this performance The McCarricks return to The Horse Hospital to celebrate the work of Scottish film maker Norman McLaren (1914 - 87) whose innovative animated film techniques often eliminated the camera completely and instead saw the artist drawing, painting or scratching directly onto the film. The McCarricks have composed new soundtracks for McLarens work especially for this performance and will also be playing a selection of music from their current show 'Music From The Third Floor'. The McCarricks met in Lawrence, Kansas on a balmy summer evening in 1996. Martin was touring with rock band Therapy? and Kimberlee was a violinist with the Kansas Symphony Orchestra. For two years they lived between Martins home in London and Kimberlee's Kansas City apartment until 1998 when they left the heat and the tornadoes and settled in London. The have worked together as composers, collaborators, string arrangers and live musicians and will be touring the UK and Europe from March 2007.
