Formerly a violinist he pioneered the use of the laptop computer in live performance and today works with self-made software that allows him to react and respond as effectively as any acoustic musician.

Over the past five years Lee Patterson has flourished into one of the most consistently interesting and exciting musicians in the UK. Under-represented on CD, he has performed with everyone from Keith Rowe to Toshiya Tsunoda. He is respected as one of the very best field recordists in the world as well as a utilising a wide array of unusual and remarkable objects and natural processes in his work as a live improvisor.

Paul Vogel has performed as a live improvising musician since the seventies. A resident of Dublin, over recent years he has forged a widely respected musical partnership with David Lacey and has performed with the cream of today's improvising communities, working with a variety of electronic and acoustic instruments.
