Their double album project Bakers of the Lost Future was recorded live in 2010 & 2013 (+ 1 track studio) and shows their unique blend of sounds and subtle electronica at the borders of free improvisation, DIY electronic music, noise ambient and danubian psychedelia : https://inexhaustibleeditions.bandcamp.com/album/bakers-of-the-lost-future . The live only-acoustic track of this album features legendary unique multimedia artist and singer Katalin Ladik .
London-based experimental musician and artist Adam Bohman (1959) has been operating on the outer fringes of underground music for decades. Working with home-built instruments, found objects, tape cut-ups, collages, ink drawings and graphic scores. Favouring acoustic sounds over electronics, he explores the minute tendrils of sounds coaxed from any number of non-musical instruments and objects. He is a member of British experimental groups Morphogenesis, The Bohman Brothers, Secluded Bronte and The London Improvisers Orchestra and works cooperatively with Adrian Northover and Sue Lynch in the Custodians of the Realm and the Horse Improv Club. http://www.adriannorthover.co.uk/thecustodians.html
Zsolt Sőrés (1969) is an improvising intuitive musician, experimental sound artist, editor and writer based in Budapest, Hungary. His music characterised by formation strategies and immediate transitions; the use of unstable acoustic systems and continuous sound layers, which can develop towards a sound economy. His recent collaborations in the context of improvised music include performances with Franz Hautzinger, Isabelle Duthoit, Christian Kobi, Christian Skjød, Thanos Chrysakis, Richard Barrett, Richard Scott and the legendary Faust group. ahadmaster.blogspot.com
Experimental vibraphone, electronics and analogue synthesizer player Oliver Mayne (1971) first encountered improvisation in a duo with a Brazilian pianist whilst living in Nottingham, England, but got more seriously involved in the adventurous side of music after moving to London, attending the weekly improvisation workshops run by Eddie Prévost of legendary British improvisation group AMM. He has been involved in various recordings through the years, including releases on Glitterhouse, Clinical Archives and Aural Terrains.
Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg (1955) is an improvising singer and vocal performer from Waterloo, Belgium. He has developed throat singing, overtone, jodel, mouth sounds, falsetto, and multiphonic techniques and invented imaginary languages since the 90's. He is working in the trio Sureau with Jean Demey and Kris Vanderstraeten and Trio 876 with Matthias Boss and Marcello Magliocchi; and has played and recorded albums with John Russell, Lawrence Casserley, Adam Bohman, Sabu Toyozumi, Paul Dunmall, Marjolaine Charbin, Gianni Mimmo & Yoko Miura. http://soundcloud.com/jean-michelvanschouwburg
