ANATOMY LIVE AT CAFE OTO WITH SALLY POTTER & FRIENDS
To mark the release of film-maker and singer/songwriter Sally Potter‘s new album ANATOMY, coproduced with Marta Salogni and released by Bella Union, Café Oto is proud to host the only UK concert featuring Fred Frith (guitars), Alcyona Mick (piano), Aimée Farrell-Courtney (bodhrán), Ben Reed (bass) and Misha Mullov-Abbado (double bass).
Sally Potter has been exploring themes of human connectedness, morality, and mortality in a career that has spanned four decades, encompassing works as varied as the speculative historical epic “Orlando” and the acerbically witty comedy-drama “The Party”. In addition to her film work, Sally is a musician and singer-songwriter, a parallel vocation that began with improvised performances and concerts in the 1970s and 1980s and continued through composing music for the soundtracks of her critically lauded films. Her second album, ANATOMY is an entirely new affair for the multi-disciplinary artist—an eclectic and boldly visionary collection of songs that seek to tackle our species’ symbiotic relationship with the Earth, all while reflecting on the emotional threads that intertwine us all as people who share this planet.
