Bee Reiki Trio / Will Montgomery / Al Strachan & Otti Albietz Duo

Brighton’s music scene has always had a particular affinity for the experimental, and this coming 6th of June, there is an event taking place that leans directly into that space. Aural Detritus is organising a night dedicated to improvisation, bringing together a selection of artists for a performance that prioritises the spontaneous nature of live music. Rather than following a rigid setlist, the evening is structured around the interaction between the musicians, which often results in a unique dynamic that changes from one moment to the next.

The lineup for this session includes the Bee Reiki Trio, who will be sharing the stage with Will Montgomery. The programme also features a collaborative set from the duo Al Strachan and Otti Albietz. Furthermore, Steve Beresford is confirmed to be part of the bill. Because the event is presented by Aural Detritus, it aligns with their ongoing work in the city, focusing on providing a platform for artists who work within these specific improvisational frameworks. It is a straightforward setup, designed for those who have an interest in how these musicians navigate their instruments and ideas in real-time.

If you are planning your schedule for early June, this event offers a specific type of musical experience that is quite distinct from the usual gig circuit in Brighton. It is an opportunity to see these artists perform in a setting that is clearly defined by its improvisational focus. Whether you are already familiar with the work of these musicians or simply curious about the local experimental scene, the evening provides a clear look at what these performers are currently developing. It is a local event that contributes to the variety of the city's cultural calendar, and it is worth noting for anyone interested in the technical and creative aspects of live improvisation.
