The renowned Arditti Quartet, with Fred Frith and trombonist Uwe Dierksen, performing Fred's string quartet and related pieces - " totally compelling and strangely beautiful" (All About Jazz)
Rivers & Tides
Music from Thomas Riedelsheimer's exquisite and acclaimed documentary about Andy Goldsworthy, with extraordinary bass clarinet and soprano sax playing from the late and very much lamented Wolfgang Stryi. "Rivers and Tides demonstrates that Frith is not only a skewed pop genius and fearless improviser, but a remarkably empathetic soundtrack composer as well." (All Music Guide)
University of Huddersfield, Yorkshire, UK awards an honorary doctorate to Fred in recognition of his life's work in experimental music. For information see:
