Julien Feltrin & Michel Sicinski To Premiere Andi Spicer's 'Haut Voltage' in Calais, France

Ensemble Alchemia with Julien Feltrin on Midi Woodwind Controller, Recorders and Michel Sicinski on clarinets are to premiere my composition 'Haut Voltage' for Midi woodwind controller, clarinet and laptop electronics on Wednesday 17th January, 2007 in the French coastal city of Calais. This is an interesting piece that uses electronics and improvisation from the two players. Julien is a fine musician who I've worked with in the past with 'Euclid Alone'. This is the first time I've worked with the talented Polish clarinetist Michel Sicinski.
