about

Graham Gynn England, UK

Early solo releases (Backyard Assembly and Articulos) stem from free improvisation with the Tyneside New Music Group. Middle period (Islands, Macawcus & Ravenstone) combine sounds from the natural world with acoustic compositions. The 2000's went Latin playing cuatro with the bands Rumba Diabla and Quijada. Mingalar Ba Bus moves back towards jazz.
