The music of this transnational and intergenerational quartet is liminal and reductive, taking strong influence
from Eddie’s long history with AMM as a central part of the English improvised music scene of the 1960s and 70s and incorporating different backgrounds of several recent constellations within the quartet.

Tapiwa Svosve’s (born 1995) interests move between improvisation, electroacoustic composition and contemporary music. From 2014 to 2017 he studied at the Zurich University of the Arts. Explorations of abstract sounds, the relations between sound and space and/or time are topics he’s always trying to address in his various projects. Furthermore he is also active as an organiser, f.e. the Gamut Kollektiv and the Taktlos Festival.
