RICHARD YOUNGS

Richard Youngs is “THE iconic figure of the modern UK underground” (The Quietus) and has been making music since the start of the seventies. His early work centred on the family piano. When this was sold in the late seventies, however, the classical guitar and cassette recorder became his instruments of choice, along with anything at hand that made a sound. From then on he has played any number of roles with bands such as Astral Social Club, Concrete Hedge, No Deserts, Jandek and Future Pilot A.K.A. Recent collaborative work with Andrew Paine, Heatsick, Kawabata Makoto and John Clyde-Evans also show him as a highly social musician.

His catalogue of releases wanders into all kinds of zones over a vast array of albums on various labels including his No Fans imprint: they include accapella, guitars, pipes or electronics and come out of solitude and in partnership with atmospheres that range from fragmental folk to all-out fuzz.

RAZA

A self-styled “friendly musical conversation between a Scotsman and a Frenchman, using the medium of synthesisers and drums” RAZA – the name a reference to the musical chi called Rasa in Gamelan – first got together after meeting at the Glad Community Choir in Shawlands, Glasgow (singing Ivor Cutler). Blending Gav’s love of wonky and melodious electronic music honed through bands and solo projects including Findo Gask, GRNR, Glamour Muscle and Honey and the Herbs, and Bertrand’s playing style influenced by Afrobeat, Indonesian, Gamelan and Brazilian groove music, which previously saw him drum for Parisian prog tropical band Orval Carlos Sibelius, RAZA quickly established a unique sound.
