Food (Strønen/Ballamy) North American Tour 2015


Recommended Posts

Food is touring in advance of a forthcoming release on ECM. First time in the US!

“Contemporary music through and through, driven by a rhythmic urgency and mix of acoustic and electronic sound that could only be happening now” - The GuardianUK

Iain Ballamy - saxophones / electronics

Thomas Strønen - drums / electronics

Since its first concert in 1998 this groundbreaking group has toured internationally making thought provoking improvised music of great depth, texture and beauty and have defined a new kind of lyrical electro-acoustic improvisation. Iain Ballamy from the UK on saxophones/electronics and Norwegian Thomas Strønen drums/percussion/electronics use sound, space, and contrast to produce ever-changing moods. By combining acoustic elements including bells, blocks, gongs and lyrical saxophone, the music is enhanced and tempered with live sampling and drums generating atmospheres ranging from minimalist to turbulent. Lately, Food has worked with artists such as trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer, Austrian guitarist Christian Fennesz and Indian sitar/vocalist Prakash Sontakke. Food is touring in support of their 8th album out on ECM.
