Anla Courtis / Adam Bohman

Anla (or Alan) Courtis is a Buenos Aires-born experimental composer, musician and founder member of cult Argentinian group, Reynols. He has several hundred releases to his name as well as a dizzying array of collaborations with the likes of Pauline Oliveros, Lee Ranaldo, Jim O’Rourke, Merzbow, and Otomo Yoshihide.

His music always has strong experimental sense and is usually based on high-skilled techniques of prepared sound, tape manipulations, processing of field recordings, live electronics, objects, cymbals, synthesizers, and computer tools.He plays traditional instruments as well as self-built, strange and unusual instruments, like the unstringed guitar.

Adam Bohman has been operating on the outer fringes of underground music for decades, working with home-built instruments, found objects, tape cut-ups, collages, ink drawings, found texts and graphic scores. Favouring acoustic sounds over electronics, he explores the minute tendrils of sounds coaxed from any number of non-musical instruments and objects. He is a member of British experimental groups The Bohman Brothers, Secluded Bronte, and The London Improvisers Orchestra. Adam's music is unique and experimental, incorporating Fluxus japery, musique concrete, sound poetry and free improvisation.
