There are more trumpet and percussion duos in the world than you might think and 'Struck and Blown' features two of the finest. Both also add electronics to their sonic pallette but each group creates their own distinctive sound world from their self-imposed minimal resources.
London based Tank and Trumpet are Steve Chadwick and Saul Eisenberg. Steve plays trumpet and electronics to deliver a spacey mix which can range from old english folk to fast Bebop. Saul plays a selection of self-built instruments made from recycled gas tanks, fine-tuned with a variety of power tools to find the resonance and tone he requires.Tank and Trumpet's recent projects include providing the music for a track on Sam Lee's Mercury Prize nominated album 'A Ground Of It's Own' and soundtrack music for the films 'Frank' and 'Samasara'. Returning to the SITE Festival from Bristol are Eyebrow. Eyebrow feature Pete Judge (Get The Blessing) on trumpet and electronics and Paul Wigens (ex Blurt) on drums, percussion and electronic percussion. Paul has been described as a human metronome and lays down repetitive, evolving and compelling beats. Pete explores his sparse melodies from every angle over hypnotic live-sampled textures. In 2012 Eyebrow were commissioned by the b-side Multimedia Festival to create a 'walking soundtrack' for a section of the Dorset coast. For dance company Taikabox they composed and performed the soundtrack for the dance piece 'Beyond The Body.
