Benedict Drew, Cranc

Cranc are Nikos Veliotis (cello), Rhodri Davies (electric harp) and OTO Associate Artist Angharad Davies (violin).

Cranc formed in 1999. They perform infrequently and rarely release any music. They began performing with an interactive, gestural and highly energised aesthetic, as documented on their first CD release, ‘All Angels’. Their second CD, ‘copper fields‘ in 2009 explores calm sonic landscapes. Although they mostly use acoustic instruments, they sound shamelessly electronic.

Benedict Drew is an artist that works across video, sculpture, music and their associated technologies.
