Jonny Drury

About Me

Guitars & fx, vocals, percussion. Experimental musician working mainly in free improvisation, music and film production, live art and painting. Live & recorded collaborations with John Russell, Bel Drury, Mick Beck, Glynn Heppenstall, Stefano Giust, Derek Saw, John Jasnoch, Dan Sumption, Charlie Collins, Beatrix Ward-Fernandez, Mick Beck, Martin Archer, Genesis P-Orridge, Damo Suzuki, John Hackett and other respected travellers.
Founder of Freenoise (promotions) hosting such diverse names as Whitehouse, Psychic TV, Sonny Simmons, Islaja, Axolotl, Sunburned Hand of the Man and many more to play and cross-pollinate at gigs with local musicians.
Co-founder of groups BLISTRAP, The Other Orchestra, Black Serama, The Tajalli Vortex, Sunshine Panic. Films continue to be a feature and his offbeat experimental work often provides the projected backdrop for shows. He is also a live artist (performance artist), instrumental in numerous projects in groups and solo.
Jonny’s open-ended and original approach to music and art means he is an innovator and an experimenter: as much at home improvising for the first time ever on piano live recently in a trio’s debut gig as he is playing guitars with cutting edge, experimental musicians, filming and producing or performing in unusual places solo or with an invited group of live artists.

New album out Dec 08 on Setola Di Maiale
Remotion (remote/dynamic motion) is the first project of collaboration between the improvising artists; Mick and Jonny together in England and Stefano in Italy. Neither had heard each others recordings and furthermore the sections were then mixed together in an almost totally improvised way. We took this idea further and did some actual 'cut-ups' producing three more tracks. The swiftness of execution - around 30 days - is an indication of a focussed drama of forces and the full process, from playing to making, aims to be as relevant as the resulting musical experience.
