DESCRIPTION: Doors 7:30pm/Music 8:00pm \n\n Release tour for Elliot Galvin
 ’s new album The Ruin\, with Mandhira de Saram\, Ruth Goller and Sebasti
 an Rochford. \n\n "This album is the most personal I’ve made to date. Na
 med after an ancient Anglo-Saxon poem from the 9th century AD about the fo
 rmer glory of an unnamed ruined city\, “The Ruin” is inspired by the f
 eeling of living in England (“a country that feels like a living ruin”
 )\, the bleak landscape of where I grew up (Medway towns)\, and a kind of 
 self-portrait reflecting how we all live amongst the ruins of our past sel
 ves both collectively and individually. All the musical material on “The
  Ruin” is taken from iPhone recordings of improvisations that I played o
 n my first-ever piano – bought using money left by my late grandfather. 
 The whole album is structured cyclically so that it gradually builds up an
 d crumbles away\, starting and finishing with solo piano. To this end\, th
 e very beginning of the album starts with a reversed iPhone recording of m
 e improvising a melody on this piano and ends with this same recording pla
 ying forwards." \n\n "The musicians who recorded this music with me have a
 ll had a big impact on my voice over the years\, featuring Ruth Goller on 
 bass and voice\, Sebastian Rochford on Drums\, the Ligeti String Quartet\,
  who I have been working with since the very first album I was on. \n\n It
  is the start of a new chapter musically and one that feels the truest to 
 my musical voice that I’ve ever made." \n\n An artist with little need f
 or introductions\, Elliot Galvin is a long-time trailblazer in the UK jazz
  firmament with four solo albums that have seen him top album of the year 
 lists at the likes of Downbeat and Jazzwise\, as well as being a member of
  the Mercury nominated Dinosaur\, and collaborating with Shabaka Hutchings
 \, Emma-Jean Thackray\, Norma Winstone\, Marius Neset and Mark Lockheart. 
 Galvin has also earned a fierce reputation as a borderless improvisor havi
 ng released records with the likes of Mark Sanders and his now labelmate B
 inker Golding. His latest solo release was an entirely improvised piano al
 bum and was named The Guardian’s album of the month and BBC Music magazi
 ne’s album of the year. Outside of this Galvin is a composer\, commissio
 ned by a multitude of groups like the Sinfonietta\, and an audio artist wi
 th works exhibited at the likes of Turner Contemporary Gallery\, and more.
