He has contributed to a number of music publications, including New Musical Express and Trouser Press and has conducted improvising workshops across the world.

He moves between a variety of instrumental sources such as zither, chimes, melodica, acoustic and electric guitars, and accordian, applying subtle digital processing and layers of found sound to craft dense organic compositions.http://www.jasperleyland.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
