notes inégales are one of the most innovative new ensembles in Britain. Described as ‘post-fusion’ they combine playing written new music with improvisation/collaboration – and playing rhythmically ‘funky’ (inégales!) as well as straight.

The ensemble have their own club in London, club inégales. At each session notes inégales play, then guests play, then a new collaboration together. The sheer range of guests - in a friendly interactive environment - constantly invites the audience to ‘hear fresh’.

Our seventh Dialogues concert features drum and trumpet duo Knuckle Biter and host of very new projects developed by postgraduate students at the University of Edinburgh.

Here is what Knuckle Biter have to say about themselves...

"Our music is improvised and has been compared to Efterklang, Ornette Coleman, Morton Feldman, Deerhoof, Miles Davis, Captain Beefheart, and Evan Parker. These eclectic comparisons sit well with the duet we have both have played a wide variety of different music, with different ensembles around the world. We both use laptops to set up textural layers to improvise alongside our instrumental playing."
