Olivia Block

Olivia Block is a contemporary composer and sound artist who combines field recordings, scored segments for acoustic instruments, and electronically generated sound. Her recorded work seeks to introduce and ultimately reconcile nature with artifice in the realms of music and sound. In the process, "organic" sound becomes subtly process, digitized, and abstracted; "inorganic" sound becomes self-replicating and animate; and "musical" elements such as chamber instruments are defamiliarized from their traditional associations...

Marsen Jules

Marsen Jules is one of the aliases for the musical output of Martin Juhls from Dortmund/Germany. As Marsen Jules he concerns himself with compression of atmosphere and emotion in the most abstract sense, based on carefully selected sound fragments and quotations.

Anton Mobin

Self-taught musician, he turns very fast to an experimental practice with an approach done wonders for the self-confidence on improvised music for an intuitive music. He used to play with the collective H.A.K. and more with affinities; with Ayato in the improvised duet called “ Crash Duo”. Fascinated in great detail sounds in everyday life, it is under the name of Anton Mobin, that he produces sound pieces for radio (Arteradio), dance (Syderal Ballet), and theatre (Bobine Theatre). Field recordings and sound effects are the essential elements of his personal sound art.

Steve Parry

Steve Parry and the Big Band From Hell Steve formed the Big Band From Hell whilst still a student at Leeds College of Music in the early/mid 90s as a vehicle for him to play drums in a big band. (Being a trumpet player, he didn’t get to play drums that often!) The band lasted until the end of 1996 whereupon Steve’s first Blues Brothers tour started. Then in 2003 Steve got a phone call from his friend and ex-lead trumpet with the band, Bryan Davis, who suggested reforming the band for a gig at The Wardrobe in Leeds.

Nurse With Wound

Nurse With Wound or NWW is a London, UK based music band, formed in 1978 by Steven Stapleton, John Fothergill and Heeman Pathak. Their early recordings, all made quickly, were heavily influenced by free jazz and krautrock and were generally considered industrial music, despite the objections of the group. By 1981, only Stapleton was left from the original trio and he now regards 1982's "Homotopy to Marie", as being the first proper Nurse With Wound release. There are now over 30 full length NWW titles.
