Jerome Bryerton

Jerome Bryerton's work involves the use of sounds and gestures derived from Eastern and Western percussionists. Particularly European percussionists Paul Lytton and Le Quan Ninh. With the fusion of American heavy-handedness- drummers Elvin Jones, Rashied Ali and Art Blakey!----------------------------------------------------- ---Equally important is his incorporation of ideas/philosophies of visual artists Gerhard Richter, Richard Serra and Cy Twombly and Writer Jean Baudrillard. The reason being 'creative' music, more-so than traditional music, cannot reach it's full potential without a concentrated effort towards color and space. And also, a deep understanding of various structures/thoughts that come into being through living in this 'modern' world.------------------------------------------------- Jerome has performed, played and recorded with the likes of Cecil Taylor, Wolfgang Fuchs, John Butcher, Frank Gratkowski, Peter Van Bergen, Jeb Bishop, Burton Greene, Alan Silva, Marco Eneidi and Henry Kaiser.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++Performance bios: performances with Three october Meetings (Fuchs/Bryerton/Smith)++++++++ ++ 2002 Total Music Meeting.
