THETHREEFEET
Andrew Ciccone (percussion/performance), Iris Colomb (text/performance), John Bisset (lap steel guitar). Found text, found percussion, lost and found lap steel – a highly reclaimed trio. They met at Rick Jensen’s Skronk sessions in 2022 and have gone on to wow audiences on water and underground.
“Samuel Beckett on acid.” audience member, The Pool
GHOST MIND
Pete Robson (trumpet/piano), Stuart Wilding (percussion), Charlie Folorunsho (voice) this is combined with a background of found sounds gathered from around the planet. Essentially, Ghost Mind is a three-person quartet, the fourth member being the titular “Ghost”. When available Carina Tint (xiao Chinese bamboo flutes), Zhuyang Liu (guzheng) and Barbie Mukoda (flutes) also join us.
The concept of Ghost Mind was devised while the original members were playing together with the Cheltenham Improvisers Orchestra. The idea was to carry on that experimental, improvised sound with an added backtrack – the Ghost – in a more compact trio replacing the Orchestra and creating a soundscape with space difficult to create in a larger group. Current plans are to invite a local guest musician to join the trio at each performance.
Having formed in 2014, the band, based in Cheltenham and London, have played across the UK and a tour of Germany where they also collaborated with Gottingen trio, Brainville Desperados. Further collaborations with the likes of Rothko, Emi Watanabe, BeiBei Wang, Saltings, Lee Boyd Allotson, Chris Cundy and a long list of poets and performers has seen Ghost Mind establish themselves as a unique and completely indescribable force on tour.
In 2017 they collaborated with Johny Brown (Band of Holy Joy) and actor Tam Dean Burn, adding an improvised soundscape to Brown’s adaptation of the Bill Drummond play, “Bill Drummond is Dead” live on the radio for Resonance FM.
“Magical!” Ernst Reijseger
“You made the air sing” Phil Hollins
‘The thing about Ghost Mind is they don’t just improvise with instruments toys and objects but through the sounds they process through the Ghost Mind machine it seems as if they are improvising with our very pasts, with our memories and dreams to conjure a beautiful and vital sometime orchestral sometime post hauntological but always inventive sound’ Johny Brown, Band of Holy Joy
“Wonderful, diffused Percussion sounds from another world… From the urban world to nature, into a bed of birdsong and back again… The band is obviously not afraid to sound experimental.” Göttingen Tageblatt
“Fantastic, inventive, dazzling, humorous and yet serious at turns.” Tony Broad, Impress Festival
