LEMUR is a fourheaded sonic organism that transforms, blends and breaks the boundaries of their instruments and the art of quartet playing. Drawing on their combined vocabulary from experimental music, noise, contemporary music and jazz, the four soloist appear as a tightly knit improvising unit and a conceptually guided composition collective. LEMUR was founded in 2006 and has performed across Europe and Asia with different formations and projects ranging from their regular quartet set, via collaborations with pianist John Tilbury, guitarist Stian Westerhus and larger projects, for example with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra. Their musical activities include a series of commissions drawing on the canon of 20th century modernism, in which the ensemble creates new collaborative work from titles and concepts excavated from earlier music. Other collaborators include Glasgow-based avant-disco hipsters AMOR, Zeitkratzer-leader and pianist Reinholdt Friedl, electro-acoustic pioneer Natasha Barrett and performance artist Kate Pendry. www.lemur.fm
