GEOFF LEIGH

Known for his work in the 70's with Mouseproof, Radar Favourites, Henry Cow, Slapp Happy, and Hatfield & The North, world music experiments in the 80's, and more recent collaborations with Steven Wilson, Faust, Acid Mothers Temple, Ex-Wise Heads, and Makoto Kawabata, Leigh's career spans five decades of constant renewal and stylistic experimentation.

In his latest solo project he creates dense real-time soundscapes and rhythmic patterns, over which his distinctive flute and saxophone solos make for an almost total group sound. Balancing precariously on the far edges of chaos and order, unpredictability is the key concept.

FRANK WUYTS

Perhaps best known for his work with Belgian group Aksak Maboul, especially their 1980 release “Un petit peu l'ame des bandits”, with guests Fred Frith and Chris Cutler (from Henry Cow), Frank's career as both musician and arranger has seen him collaborate with many Belgian and French rock stars like Jacques Higelin, Pierre Vassiliu, and Claude Semal. He has also performed with many top Belgian jazz musicians, in styles ranging from pure improvisation to densely composed contemporary forms.
