BENEDICT TAYLOR and DIRK SERRIES’ two-day residency at HUNDRED YEARS GALLERY kicks off tonight.

After their well-received debut duo album PUNCTURE CYCLE, British key improviser BENEDICT TAYLOR and Belgian guitarist DIRK SERRIES have a new album out, called OBSIDIAN, on the Portuguese CREATIVE SOURCES label.  This is their 2nd duo album, this time recorded at this beautiful chapel in Dirk’s hometown in Belgium.  Apart from their duo recordings and performances these productive artists played numerous times together in in various projects (just think about TONUS, SETT, Daniel Thompson’s quintet, etc) and events.  Celebrating this brand-new album, the duo is doing this two-day residency at Hundred Years Gallery for which they invited an eclectic and unique list of British improvisers.  Truly honored and over the moon they all accepted and are joinging the duo for some unfiltered improvisation.
