Incus, Malleus and Stapes
Improv trio utilising some aleatoric methods:
Alan Jackson— plays the “Electric Bullroarer” – part homemade electronics, part modular synthesizer, it is a kit of parts for exploring feedback and resonance. It uses pressure, tilt, motion, microphones and string to control its sound, usually shaping some kind of feedback process.
Marc Muir likes to use his mouth to explore the more disconcerting facets of his mind.
Simon Mclennan uses guitar and electronics to explore harmony and resonance.
