Phil Minton, Simon Fell

Phil Minton and Simon H Fell play Improvised Music: ‘improvised music' in the sense that their music is spontaneously generated without predetermined structure, specified materials or defined programmatic intent and ‘Improvised Music' in the sense that their music stems from the continuing development of the established quasi-genre of (European) Improvised Music (aka Free Improvisation or Non-idiomatic Improvisation).

Their performances re-balance several traditional musical hierarchies; pitch- or rhythm-orientated vs. timbre-orientated structures, structure-orientation vs. continuity-orientation, pitch-and/or rhythm-quantised material vs. interstitial ‘dirt', and the mining or recuperating of raw materials vs. the presentation of commodified art objects.
