Phil Morton - accidents and treatment -

Nice tag line, but Mr Morton is more likely to be found playing the guitar these days, a guitar: bought in 1970 for £16.00, that currently is rarely intentionally tuned, a magnetic pick-up and a contact-microphone deliver two differentiated outputs to one acoustic amplifier. The target appears to be; timbral rather than tonal, the voicing and spacing of chords rather than chasing and taking the notes down the straight alley. A guitar player who rejects the boxes, pedals, digital processing approach to extending the sound palette as the `acoustic` world is infinite and enough for him: or is it he's too poor to buy them! Except for one: the lexicon jamman, sampler, delay, loop has remained part of his set up for twenty years, and remains a key part of his performance, a performance forged in the air that it moves.

Chaparral Andrew Hodges, prophet 12

is an outsider having had no real music education. In 1980 he decided to reconstruct music theory from first principles, defining all the possible patterns of scales and chords available to contemporary instrumentalists. After a further decade working on timbre using FM Synthesis, he devoted the next 20 years to defining almost 9000 rhythm families and over 40 million polyrhythms.
In between theory work he has worked with artists ranging from Annie Lennox to Pat Thomas and Tim Turan. Among his solo creations are 3 CDs and the recent Pilgrimage Project; an experimental quadraphonic work, recorded in ancient churches (and one cathedral) resulting in over 50 hours of music.
Over 60 tracks are held in the Michael Gerzon collection at the British Sound Library including live recordings playing with a diverse variety of bands in Avant Garde Rock, Reggae, Psychedelic, Self-composed and freely improvised styles. He has self published a Dictionary of Rhythm and 6 books on polyrhythms, The Ho Ho Chi Rhythm Method
