MINORIE PRESENTS
Wednesday 27 MaySuzan PeetersBE + Lone Capture LibraryUK
The fringes of folk and experimental music
The accordion is an instrument mainly associated with folk or schlager/trucker music but Suzan Peeters takes the instrument into exciting new directions. While already being recognised as one of the most promising names in Belgium’s experimental music scene, her debut album Cassotto, released by Blickwinkel in 2025, cemented her reputation.
Suzan Peeters’ distinctive live shows — from leading venues across Belgium, to a packed Café Oto in London — have earned her a reputation for combining accordion, electronics and unconventional objects such as a massage board into a compelling whole where contrasts come together in unexpected ways. For those who missed her performance at the last edition of Rewire festival this is the perfect way make up for it. But of course everyone with a curious ear should not miss this special concert.
Rory Salter is London’s restless improvisor and audio collagist extraordinaire, who has contributed to dozens of solo and collaborative releases in an ecosystem centered around his Infant Tree private press, as well as recordings for Bison, Alter and MAL. Operating under a handful of aliases like Malvern Brume (audio collage / musique concrète), Tweedle (bedroom synth and tape music) and The Sprigs (indie pop abstractions), tonight will shine a light on Lone Capture Library and their only album ‘All Natures Most Mundane Materials’; a melancholic suite of keyboard instrumentals where the supremely lonely British landscape at rainy dusk is conjured in all its dank glory.
The liner notes describe how ‘All Natures Most Mundane Materials’ was recorded on ‘September 16th 2020 after walking down the A4361 from Swindon to Avebury Stone Circle a few days before’ and that pretty much gives you it all right there. As ‘All Night Flight’ puts it beautifully: Crows land on flooded fields, electric fences and mobile phone masts hum and sodium yellow light falls on wet lichen. The music is weightless low-lit synth drones and endlessly sad school-room organ melodies all caught in a net of shortwave crackle and pylon interference.
A very rare performance of this material which has been rightfully described as a ‘modern-day DIY environmental masterpiece’.
