about
Ampersand: Formed in 2001 in South London, Ampersand can trace their early influences back to This Heat, Throbbing Gristle, and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Equally important were experimemtal bands from the eighties i.e Test Dept, Einsturzende Neubauten, SPK and Zoviet France. Gamelan and Sufi music are also a big influence. However, Ampersand don't do songs in the traditional manner, they gather a collection of sounds and improvise creating sonic sculptures/noise scapes that last between 30 and 45 mins. All noises are acoustic and feature piano carcasses, shell casings, corrugated iron, flaming scaffold and malfunctioning electronics and other eccentricities. Sounds mesh together creating multifaceted timbral music that is complex and compelling. Live is where Ampersand is best experienced. The listener is invited to immerse himself or herself, on a sometimes harrowing journey of inner discovery. Website www.ampersand.tv / info@ampersand.tv
