Waves of Wonder is proud to present internationally acclaimed headliners Portico Quartet live in concert on September 13th at Kings Court Theatre, Isle of Man. This show is expected to be Portico Quartet's only live performance within the British Isles in 2025. Supporting Portico Quartet will be the Manx improvised electronic music act Kitterland and IOM based soundscapetress Soundology. The event will take place in the beautiful and historic setting of King William College, Castletown.
Portico Quartet:
Let Portico Quartet take you on a journey through their unique musical world. Portico Quartet have defied categorisation over the course of six studio albums. From their 2007 Mercury Music Prize nominated breakthrough ‘Knee-Deep in the North Sea’ through to the longform minimalist inspired ‘Terrain’ in 2021. For this rare and intimate concert, the band will perform music from their rich back catalogue as well as a few tasters from their upcoming release (currently in the making). Portico Quartet are Duncan Bellamy on drums, Milo Fitzpatrick on bass, Jack Wyllie on saxophones and Taz Modi on hang drums and keyboards.
Kitterland:
Kitterland is a musical project between Tibor Miklos and Joff Whitten, working with filmmaker Anthony Dalton. Together, they create live, improvised cinematic music using analogue synths, looping pedals, guitars, and voice. Their first film, 2121, has been screened a number of times across the island and beyond, and features a live set recorded in the Sound Café, set to views of the island from sunrise to sunset. At our event, Kitterland will perform a live re-version of their film. The music will be improvised on the night and will respond to the incredible cinematic visuals of the island created by Anthony.
Soundology:
Amy Howse is a sound artist with intricate knowledge of the transformative power of sound. Using gongs, crystal bowls, and other resonant instruments, she creates immersive sonic experiences that transcend traditional sound bath practices. Her work explores sound not just as therapy, but as a form of sonic art, guiding audiences into realms that are both deeply intriguing and gently magical.
