With these gentlemen on the edge of their improvisational seats, allowing their future musings to connect and disconnect, Michael Evans’ Fulminate Trio features Ken Filiano (double bass), Anders Nilsson (electric guitar) and Michael Evans (acoustic and electronic percussion). As much influenced by slow moving Japanese folk songs, Sonny Sharrock’s “Black Woman” period and ordered forms of chaos, their audio < > poltergeists hoover, dart, collide, transmute and fly unison in and out of auditory focus.
Raised in southern Sweden, electric guitarist Anders Nilsson has worked together with many artists on the experimental scene in NY such as Sabir Mateen, Daniel Carter, Ken Filiano, Raoul Björkenheim, Matt Heyner, Kermit Driscoll, Michael Evans, Evan Gallagher, Tom Bruno, Ras Moshe & Jeff Arnal.
Embracing classical, jazz, the world of spontaneous improvisation and inter-disciplinary performances with dance and the spoken word, Ken Filliano fuses the rich traditions available to the double bass, bringing out the many voices inherent within this instrument. Ken tours widely, playing across the United States, Canada, Europe and South America.
Michael Evans is an improvising drummer/percussionist/multi-instrumentalist/composer whose work investigates and embraces the collision of sound and theatrics. As well as being a drumset player, his work with unusual sound sources includes found objects, homemade instruments, the theremin and various digital and homemade analog electronics.
