At once playful and disarming, Theo Alexander and Qow’s collaborative performances combine non-verbal voice notes, semi-classical instrumentals, spoken word, and tape-loop ambience. Ahead of their upcoming album and hot on the heels of their January premiere at CTM Festival in Berlin, Alexander and Qow return to duo format for their UK debut show, bringing with them an archive of transformed material aggregated from more than a year of collaboration.
Their inimitable bricolage sound has been built up through a network of further collaborators, including Egyptian poet and rapper Otteswed, improvisation veteran Klara Pudlakova, and George Cremaschi – a former collaborator to Cecil Taylor and Anthony Braxton.

yy wood’s slippery pop-auteurism is the stuff that shakes the long-grass, the spanner in the works. At their most vibrant, vocalist Tess Wood’s urgent yearning and playful interjections slip and slide between the folds of producer Ya Yonder's esoteric big-beat and wonky worship; in their less raucous moments, a gust of sonorous, dream-logic absurdism, feather-light textures and eventide keys
