Ether 2011: Win Exclusive Promo of Micachu & The Shapes and London Sinfonietta

As part of Ether 2011, Micachu & The Shapes and Southbank Centre Resident Orchestra London Sinfonietta are teaming up once more for a night of 21st-century experimentalism. To celebrate another of Ether’s ground-breaking collaborations, we have 10 exclusive promo copies of Micachu & The Shapes and London Sinfonietta’s new release Chopped & Screwed to give away.

Discussing the project, Micachu, aka Mica Levi, said: ‘Our own instruments sound a bit percussive, a bit like samples, a bit different. When I write songs on a guitar I find my hands falling into the same bar chords all the time, but if you have something new in front of you there are no rules. No one else has ever played one before so you can approach music differently just make it up as you go along. Doing a project with the London Sinfonietta is an amazing opportunity for us.’

To enter, simply email competitions@southbankcentre.co.uk by 20 March with ‘Chopped & Screwed’ in the subject line. Winners will be chosen at random. Please include your name, address and contact number.

See Micachu & The Shapes and London Sinfonietta playing live at Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall as part of Ether 2011 on 5 April. Get tickets here.
