Aside from a brief, edited conversation with ourselves, the article features interviews with: the legendary Paul Harrison with his dreamlike XPiano Orchestra,
circuit-bender extrordinaire, penguin wrangler and creater of the "Furbygurdy" David Cranmer,
theremin player, robotics genius and savant of the uncanny Sarah Angliss in collaboration with Chap-Hop sensation Professor Elemental,
-perhaps the most well-known musician-maker of the day Mr Thomas Truax, and last but not in the least bit least....
the incomparable street-art and music phenomenon that is the Rimski-Piano
Subjects covered in the interviews spanned from sub-sonic warfare, ventriloquy dolls and stage illusions, to the theatrical shortcomings of electronic laptop-acts, -and once our brief was fullfilled we were left with material for several further articles....so wacth this space!
It was a real pleasure to talk to such a fine bunch of folks about their work, and an honoured to be presented in print alongside them.
