Hello everybody, next 25 of September OMFI celebrates it's 50th concert inviting the drummer Paul Lytton a very best artist of the impro scene to perform a solo! Then he will join Duerinckx and Massolini in a trio./ Paul Lytton /
Paul Lytton was born in London on March 8, 1947. Drummer, also known for his experiments with electronics, constructor of instruments. His drummer career began with … playing in dance big bands in the 1960s. In those years he also likes to listen to Elvin Jones or Tony Williams, but he starts to deal with free music as a result of a meeting with Tony Oxley – a guy who on the one hand had a permanent engagement with Ronnie Scott’s – the most popular British jazz club, on the other hand he played with Derek Bailey. Through Tony he meets Evan Parker, with whom he soon records in a duo (Collective Calls (Urban) – 1972 Incus). Soon the double bass player Barry Guy will join these two and this meeting will prove crucial not only for Paul Lytton’s career but also for the history of European improvised music.

Unreal Brotherface participated, among others, in the City Sonic Winter 2019 session and the Belgian Music Days 2020.
The confrontation of his sound expertise with other modes of expression such as visual arts, performance, contemporary dance (Patricia Kuypers, Pascale Gille, Stéphanie Auberville, Tommy Russo...), remains essential to his artistic research. In 2015, he met the multimedia artist Alexandra Dementieva with whom he played in the duo “Tunnel Hearing”.

In March 2020, during the pandemic, he created Lamaφ (lamaphi), a multidisciplinary, protean group bringing together dancers, musicians and videographers from the lab'OMFI. In other musical spheres, he was a baritone saxophonist in the Brussels collective Panopticon from 2008 to 2010 as well as more recently in the stoner rock group Neptunian Maximalism from 2018 to 2022.
