About

Bringing together some of the most dynamic young British artists, Powerplant explores hi-octane percussion-led music with an electronic sound and strong visual performance.

The collective made its debut in July 2005, with a sell out performance at The Purcell Room, London. Since then Powerplant has performed extensively throughout the UK and was one of the few ensembles to perform at Steve Reich's Barbican birthday celebrations 'Phases', in 2006.

As well as Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint, works by the electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk (which translates as 'Powerplant' in English) are also performed on the disc.

At the heart of the Powerplant sound is the percussion and live electronics duo of genre trashing Ensemble Bash virtuoso, Joby Burgess and Liverpool based composer and live sound engineer, Matthew Fairclough.

Coupled with specially created film, vintage computer imagery and live visuals from Bristol-based visual artist Kathy Hinde, the trio has created an experimental and challenging repertoire fusing seminal percussion works alongside their own work, improvisations and remixes.

This release is a CD Plus, which incorporates visuals from Powerplant's live shows.

Powerplant:
- Joby Burgess (percussion)
- Matthew Fairclough (sound design)
- Kathy Hinde (visual artist)
