Over the years Chris Hill, Alan Newcombe and James O'Sullivan have played as regulars at Eddie Prevost’s London Improvisation Workshop and as performers in their own right on the London improvisation and sound art scenes. More recently pursuing their own brand of maximal improvisation as LUFT, the trio thrives on a no compromise approach that may lurch between cinematic rumblings, fractured keening, or melancholic disarray at the drop of a hat.
The gig at the Vortex marked our mutual commitment to LUFT as a trio able to forge a collective musical intent, one teetering on instability but remaining purposeful.
