Morphogenesis (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morphogenesis is a British experimental music group specializing in improvised music and the use of unconventional instruments and sound-making devices. Founded in 1985, the group usually comprised of ex-Scratch Orchestra member Roger Sutherland (also the author of New Perspectives In Music, London: Sun Tavern Fields. ISBN 0-9517012-6-6), occasional Nurse With Wound collaborator Clive Graham, Adam Bohman, Ron Briefel, Clive Hall and later, Michael Prime, a regular cohort of Organum, with whom Sutherland had also worked. Often using extended technique, "prepared" instruments or ordinary objects (including springs and plants), their unusual sound is difficult to catagorise, drawing a small but enthusiastic following, leading to features in The Wire, Resonance (which later grew into the Resonance FM radio station) and jazz magazine EST. One admirer is Thurston Moore, who invited the group to support Sonic Youth in London in 2000, a performance they released on CD. Roger Sutherland died in 2004, however, the group continues to perform sporadically. Clive Graham presented a regular show on Resonance FM until March 2006 entitled Sound Poets Exposed. Three of their CDs are available on Paradigm Discs based in london
