Phil Wachsmann is regarded by many as an outstanding improviser of great invention, able to create new approaches within improvised music utilising acoustic and electronic sources.

He can be heard on over 100 LP’s and CD’s - groups including King Ubu, the LJCO, Iskra 1903, Stellari String Quartet, and duos with Paul Lytton (ECM and Bead). The combination of Philipp’s imaginative violin skills, Jean-Michel’s remarkable vocal technique and Lawrence’s unique Signal Processing Instrument create a rich palette of sonic possibilities.
