Emilie Skrijelj / Tom Malmendier + Sanders / Niblock / Dunmall

March's instalment of Fizzle brings duo Emilie Skrijelj and Tom Malmendier, as well as Mark Sanders, Alan Niblock, and Paul Dunmall.

We are thrilled to welcome Emilie Skrijelj and Tom Malmendier to Fizzle for the first time. This exciting duo began working together in 2019, with ‘Les Marquises’, an electric and intense duo featuring Emilie on turntable, amplified accordion and electronics, and Tom on drums. Their latest CD, ‘Live in Nickelsdorf’ was released on their own label ‘eux sæm’.

Emilie and Tom have since developed other projects in collaborations with international musicians, such as Michael Thieke, Otomo Yoshihide, Christine Abdelnour, Angelica Castello, and Mike Ladd. Their set will feature a more acoustic setup, with Tom on snare drum only, and a small portable turntable for Emilie.

Paul Dunmall is certainly no stranger to Fizzle and TDE Promotions, and this month we’re excited for this trio featuring fellow-Fizzle stalwart Mark Sanders and prominent Irish double bassist Alan Niblock. 

Belfast-born double bassist, composer and improviser Alan Niblock is well recognised in the avant-garde free jazz scene. He founded the ensemble ‘Ambient Forces’ in 2002, and later began his solo career with his debut release ‘Scratching the Surface’ on FMR. His record 'Dark Energy’ (released on FMR 2018) features this fantastic trio.
