Rachel Musson is a saxophonist, improviser and composer who now resides in Stroud. She has spent the last decade immersed in improvised music, and has also gradually been introducing composed elements into her work, drawing on text, field recordings and processing sounds, which have come to the fore in her  new recording Ashes and Dust, Earth and Sky. She has performed and recorded with some of the top improvisers in the country (and beyond) including Mark Sanders, Alex Ward, John Edwards Hannah Marshall and Julie Kjaer. 

Simon McCorry’s work is a rich combination of field recordings, adept loop based compositions and atmospheric improvisations that explore the rich sonic possibilities of the cello. From droning stillness and devastating harmonic simplicity to abstract microtonal atmospheres. As a performer, McCorry is well travelled, he has performed at many prestigious events and institutions, including at South Bank, V&A, The Place and St George's Bristol. He continues to compose new music and sound design for film, theatre and dance.
