Comme les éléments sont assez rares sur ce trio total impro, transgenre, à nul autre pareil, j'ai collecté des infos, juste pour vous donner envie, comme ça, en passant.
C'est parti !
Colin Fisher (guitar, saxophone, pedals, bouzouki, auxillary percussion, voice, effects), Nick Storring (violoncello, computer, dictaphone, Casio SK-1, electronics, small flutes, bird calls, voice, auxillary percussion), Brandon Valdivia (drums, percussion, ocarina).
Nick Storring is a young, multi-faceted musician whose interests lie both in and outside of the world of improvisational music.
Nick's main focus as an improvising musician is his project with drummer Brandon Valdivia and guitarist/ saxophonist Colin Fisher, I HAVE EATEN THE CITY, in which he plays cello, keyboards and various small instruments through live computer processing. The group's approach, which draws variously from “spiritual” free-jazz , abstract electronica, contemporary classical, avant-rock, noise, ambient, musique concrete and non-Western Musics, has permitted them to play a variety of audiences in and around the Toronto area, where they are based. The group served as the backing group for Damo Suzuki in 2005 on one of his Canadian dates, and played with Tzadik artist Toby Driver (of avant-metal group Kayo Dot) on his 2006 tour in Canada.
Storring has also performed in many other improvisational contexts with musicians including Paul Dutton, Jean Martin, Frank Gratkowski, Michael Keith, Ken Aldcroft, Christine Duncan, Lori Freedman, Anne Bourne and Matthew Brubeck.
Apart from his interest in improvisational music, Storring is very active as an electroacoustic composer, as well as composing for theatre and interdisciplinary artwork. His electronic music has appeared at the Open Ears Festival of Music and Sound in 2003, and at 20th Anniversary of the Maison de Culture Notre-Dame De Grace in Montreal.
He studied composition at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario with Peter Hatch, Glenn Buhr, Richard Windeyer and Linda Catlin Smith.
He also plays cello in Polyvinyl Records' experimental-rock group Picastro, who merge spare songwriting with dark, primarily acoustic atmospherics.

I am a Guitarist/Tenor Saxophonist who enjoys composing and improvising Currently most of my musical activity is in the area of Toronto Ontario. Although I live in Stratford Ontario and have played with a few bands here resulting in the formation of Sing that Yell that Spell who have a recording out through Escapegoat Records in Toronto. Most of my other musical activity is centered in the improvised music community of toronto (which started with the infamous alto saxophonist Maury Coles whom i was in a band with near the end of his life called “Abstract” we recorded 2 albums one of which with Joe Mcphee) with people like Jason Hammer, Evan Shaw, Mark Hundevad, Jean Martin, Nick Fraser, Scott Thompson, Ken Aldcroft, Joe Sorbara and many others. I've also played with improvisors outside of toronto such as Dominic Duval, Jean Derome, Paul Hession, Gerry Hemingway, Sabir Mateen. We had a collective, before Jason Hammer moved to Vancouver, we humoursly entitled Chronic D thats focus is entirely on improvised music. I'm was also part of a band of Jason Hammer's 'Green Eggs and Hammer' of which his compositions ranged from blues to afrobeat to full out free improv. I've recorded with The Constantines for their sub pop release “Shine a Light”, the upcoming Vermicious Knid release, the band Red Trakpants 'fear of castration' album and others. I am also involved in another project with Nick Storring - cello, laptop/electronics and Brandon Valdivia - percussion... called I HAVE EATEN THE CITY (the music ranges from free-rock/jazz/glitchy-electronica/noise/new-music composition..etc - all of the music we make together is improvised). I also have my a list of my own compostions i play with Evan Shaw - Alto Saxophone, Nick Fraser - Drums, Jason Hammer - Bass and myself on Tenor and guitar. A DVD of a performance we did in toronto, while on tour with Trevor Dunn/Shelly Burgon, will be avaiable mid-2006. I also have a CDR available of duets and trios with Nick and Jason of my compostiions called “EUPHONIUS” that is only availabe through contacting me.. but if youre interested there are sample tracks availble on my myspace site. thanks!

Je n'ai pas trouvé l'équivalent sur Brandon Valdivia, mais sachez qu'il est à la hauteur des 2 autres zozos.
Bref, trio détonnant. Pas de temps morts (même dans les temps calmes), mais une intense démarche d'exploration.
Chaudement recommandé.

Ces 3 là sont absolument fantastiques. Ils ne sont pas prêts à se laisser enfermer dans une case, vu qu'ils les pulvérisent toutes avec une créativité insolente et une furieuse envie d'en découdre.
Surtout, passantEs, ne passez pas votre chemin.
