It's very exciting to be teaming up with Usurp Art Space for a long term collaboration.<br />
<br />
Saturday the 2nd of Nov 2013, saw an excellent concert take place in this very special art space in North London.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all the artists involved: Miya, David Leahy, Terry Day, Steve Beresford, Stephen Crowe, Tom Jackson, Javier Carmona, Daniel Thompson & Benedict Taylor.<br />
<br />
Also a huge thanks to Poulomi Desai and the team of creative folk at Usurp. A wonderful space for art and performance. We look forward to more.<br />
<br />
A lot of excellent footage was taken by Poulomi, and a recording was made by Mr Leahy which we eagerly await for a listen.<br />
<br />
Additional thanks to Nadjib Le Fleurier for his photography work. <br />

Super review for CRAM disc <i>TRANSIT CHECK</i> by Benedict Taylor.<br />
<br />
Hot off the press from Bruce Gallanter & Downtown Music Gallery:<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><i>Featuring Benedict Taylor on solo viola... Benedict has a unique sound as he twists notes on his viola in all sorts of bent ways...There is a tradition of free/jazz violin from Michael Sampson (who played with Albert Ayler), to Ornette Coleman to Leroy Jenkins and Billy Bang. Taylor sounds like he is drawing from that tradition while doing things his own way. He pushes hard and plays intensely with passion and finesse. His music is concentrated, consistently fascinating and at times extreme yet focused... This disc is an incredibly powerful effort and remains both enchanting and unsettling throughout. - Bruce Lee Gallanter, DMG</i></span><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">- Bruce Lee Gallanter, DMG</span></span><br />
