Sol6 is a group put together by UK pianist Veryan
Weston and Dutch Ex-punk bass guitarist – Luc Ex. It has an unusual
instrumentation which almost leans towards chamber music, but then there
is the ‘punky’ energy and often high spirited open improvisations
that are not afraid to become lyrical either.
Sol6 combine composed and tightly rehearsed pieces
with related improvisations that link and also reflect the composed material.
In the same tradition as groups like Roof and 4Walls.
Sol’s repertoire contains a combination of more simple ‘Ex’
or ‘Ex-Weston’-pieces and as well as this, full advantage is
taken of there being four players who can also sing. Each singer features
a composer. Cellist - Hannah Marshall sings songs by Charles Ives,
Veryan Weston sings songs by Erik Satie, viola player -
Mandy Drummond sings songs by Burt Bacharach.
