Non-Lieux
Rodolphe Loubatière - Snare drum
Pierce Warnecke - Electronics
LP release October 2013  
http://www.gafferrecords.com/

This album is the result of an exploration of extremes in dynamics, timber and time between percussion and electronics. The juxtaposition of opposites- whether it be between acoustic or electronic sounds, stagnant or accelerated developments, pure spectrums or extremely distorted ones- could describe this improvised, reactive and electroacoustic music.

Abbott+Yoshikawa
Paul Abbott - Snare drum
Daichi Yoshikawa - amplified object and electronics

Daichi Yoshikawa
Using a variety of inverted, diverted and reinvented electronic and acoustic devices he strikes a constantly evolving balance between harsh atonal feedback and elegant high-frequency constructions. And used to be in a band called Ampersand and has been attending Eddie Prevost”s weekly workshop.

Paul Abbott
Paul Abbott has been a quietly innovative presence in London's improvised music scene for the last few years working with electronics and self-built instruments before more recently dedicating a good part of his energy to the radical potential of an unadorned drumset, notably as one third of lll人 with Seymour Wright and Daichi Yoshikawa - a trio that recaptures free jazz's original ability to simultaneously shock, confound and delight.
