Eddie Prévost is a percussionist, free-jazz drummer, writer, educator and record producer born in England in 1942. He began music life as a jazz drummer and in 1965 he co-founded the seminal improvising ensemble AMM (1965-2022).
“[Eddie Prévost’s] is one of the greatest metallurgists that music has produced. […] sparks delicately arcing through the air, of slow lava ingesting its surroundings, of the shifting grind of tectonic plates across each other, of the rustle and glint of a firebird darting between shadows, and of ore smashing into the surface of the earth; but perhaps this language is overwrought: all that needs to be remarked upon is Prévost's industry, his diligence.”
- Nathan Moore — liner note to AMM’s Indúsria
A constant thinker about the implications of experimental music, he has written No Sound is Innocent (Copula, 1995), Minute Particulars (Copula, 2004), The First Concert: An Adaptive Appraisal of a Meta-Music (Copula, 2011), as well as numerous other articles. Has also lectured and led discussions about the theory and practice of improvisation.
As an educator, Prévost is best known for the weekly London workshop he first convened in 1999. A series of workshops on collective improvisation attended by many hundreds of musicians representing over twenty different nationalities.
N.O. Moore is an electric guitarist with a parallel interest in electronics and drum machines. As an improviser, he has played with people such as Eddie Prévost, John Butcher, Rachel Musson, John Edwards, Sue Lynch, Alan Wilkinson, Steve Noble, and Steve Beresford. He can now be heard on a number of recordings, including Nous (with Prévost and Jason Yarde) on Matchless, and The Secret Handshake with Danger (with Henry Kaiser, Binker Golding, Olie Brice, and Prévost) on 577. He launched the DXDY Recordings label to present improvised and electronic musics.
Moore is interested in the relationship between automation and autonomy, and how this affords fabrications of human sensibility and affect.
“Moore shifts fluidly from argumentatively fractured jazz licks to spacey atmospherics to mad cat hisses; the appositeness of his contributions belies the sparseness of his recorded discography”
