Phil Morton : Known as a hardcore free improviser, Mr Morton has been active in the Northern circuit of free improvisation activities since 1997. He himself remains unclear on the labels and descriptions; accidents and treatment, is at all an accident? or crafted treatments shaped by 30 years of practice. A practice grounded in the focused playing in extended relationships with musicians in The Centrifuge Network. His practice may transform the established `guitar` into a sonic object or alternatively reframe objects as musical instruments.
