What it is

Chalice is the new musical project from Minimum Labyrinth: Ian Blake (reeds), Rich Cochrane (guitar and electronics), Nicolas Hajdu (bass) and Robert Kingham (narrative).

Chalice blends spoken words with atmospheric music created in the moment, drawing the audience into a world of mystery, philosophy, folklore and transcendence.

Every performance is different: you might hear texts drawn from medieval poetry, speculative philosophy, literature both high and low, ancient religion, or pieces written by Chalice members themselves, often cut up and juxtaposed to create a constellation of ideas.

If the world feels uphill to you, then come and take a break from it all, and find some moments of peace and beauty, lost for a time on a musical journey. Expect soaring saxophones resounding off the church walls, meditative bass notes, ethereal guitar, and words to lead you through time and space.
