Marija Kovačević: Music for Broken Violins

Marija Kovačević is based in New York and has traveled internationally to Paris to Sun Tunnels in Utah to Hvar in Croatia. She has been featured on BBC Radio 3 Late Junction and Freeness programme as well as WFMU's Strength through Failure. In addition to three volumes of Music for Broken Violins, broken violins also appear on a duo cassette with Thierry Müller and Push Broken Duet with RoRo Perrot released on the Brighton-based label Chocolate Monk.

CRUSH!!!

CRUSH!!! are Sonic Pleasure (bricks, masonry, metal tools, flute), Mark Browne ( saxophones, collected objects, percussion, game calls) and Paul Twine (guitar). The group utilises a vast array of found and home-made sound making devices combined with more traditional instruments. Sonic Pleasure is famed for her unique crafting of sound from bricks and masonry, reducing much of her instrumentation to dust by the end of a concert. Mark Browne plays castrato saxophone, broken glass, percussion, whistles and bones. Paul Twine will play guitar in an extraordinary manner.
