John Butcher & Ståle Liavik Solberg

John Butcher – saxophones

John Butcher was born in Brighton, and has lived in London since the late 1970s. His music ranges through improvisation, his own compositions, multitracked pieces and explorations with feedback and extreme acoustics.

Originally a theoretical physicist, he published his Ph.D in 1982 and then left academia for music. He has since collaborated with hundreds of musicians, mostly involved with improvisation – including Derek Bailey, John Stevens,  Rhodri Davies, Okkyung Lee, Toshimaru Nakamura, Eddie Prevost and Christian Marclay.

Ståle Liavik Solberg – drums

Ståle Liavik Solberg  has established a base for himself as a central part of Oslo’s thriving improvised music scene. Working with ensembles VCDC, Will it float? (with John Russell, Steve Beresford & John Edwards), Silva-Rasmussen-Solberg trio and in duos with Fred Lonberg-Holm and John Russell his open and attentive drumming has received many positive responses from musicians and audiences in both Europe and the USA.

Dhangsha

A one time student of legendary drummer John Stevens, “Dhangsha” aka Aniruddha Das is an electronic musician causing disruption at the interface of bass music and experimental sound.
Whilst adhering to the principles of minimalism, repetition and fragmentation, and through live improvisation, he instigates interactions between rhythm and noise with a resultant concept he describes as ‘Mutant Dancehall’.
He has performed in Colombia and in the UK and Europe, including with political electronic noise duo Yao Bobby and Simon Grab.
