Manchester based experimental and improvisational trio, Triclops, comprise of Gareth Bibby, David Clarkson and Tim Jones.
Triclops music is generated live from a collection of samples, sounds and manipulations selected from any historical reference point in time. Performances can be abrasive, ambient or purely strange, but more often than not, all three at once. Despite never quite knowing what each member is likely to pull out of the hat next, the three members' musical rapport is such that a striking cohesive beauty is almost always achieved.
Triclops first played live at aLECTRO eCOUSTIC, Centro Bar, Manchester in February 2001. Earlier on, they did several gigs as a quartet featuring JJ Howard. The band have played live nationally and shared the bill with many acts including Sisters of Transistors, Crispy Ambulance, Biting Tongues, Spaceheads, Melt Banana, Sunburned Hand of the Man, Sunroof!, Speedranch-Jansky Noise, Magic City and 3D Tanx. A complete list of Triclops gigs are archived in the blog above.
