Matt Calvert

Composer, guitarist and keyboardist behind the instrumental experimental rock trio Three Trapped Tigers, as well as a regular Heritage Orchestra collaborator and musical director for drum’n’bass pioneer Goldie’s live band, Matt Calvert is more readily associated with distorted synths, heavily processed guitar, relentless drumming and high volume. And yet, with ‘Typewritten’ he has delivered a collection showcasing his compositional originality, multi-instrumental talents and sonic ingenuity that naturally compliment and extend his previous work, without using a single square wave, effects pedal, 808 kick, laptop or amplifier - all performed, not programmed.

Kinbrae

Kinbrae is the musical project of twin brothers Andrew & Michael Truscott, based in Edinburgh and Dundee Scotland. Kinbrae play a mixture of brass, electronics, percussion and musique concrete to create a uniquely experimental yet accessible form of ambient, classical music.

ØxØ

ØxØ (pronounced “null”) is a new collaboration between Brighton-based experimental duo David Berry and Barnaby Thorn, two artists developing concept-led “post-internet music for anti-millennials”. Their new limited edition cassette EP is out via pioneers of the hyper-specific, indie label Truant Recordings.

ØxØ is the marriage of intelligent, ambient cinematic arrangements and carefully considered theory put forward to convey thought-provoking ideas that that have long been on their minds.

Xoros

Will Ward is an electronic producer with releases on prestigious European labels such as Leisure System and Newrhythmic.

Jack Wyllie is an accomplished saxophonist and jazz musician, a full time member of Portico Quartet and Szun Waves.

For Ward and Wyllie, when working together a focus on texture and space emerged as their common goal and provided a fertile ground for collaborative experimentation. Xoros is their first exploration into this new musical collaboration.
