about

The group ‘Scatter’ was formed in 1992 by keyboard maestro Pat Thomas with the intent of approaching the sonorities and energy of rock music with quiet intensity via non-idiomatic improvisation. This project fuses the phenomenal Phil Minton on voice, Roger Turner's insistent percussion, and Dave Tucker's otherworldly electric and acoustic strings to create a sound that is as truly original as it is haunting. Throughout their many years together, Scatter has continued to develop and nurture a philosophy of pure group improvisation. The music is never discussed before creation. Scatter has toured England and Europe, becoming one of the most interesting contemporary improvising ensembles in the process.

This new album ‘On A Clear Day Like This’, recorded live at Cafe Oto in London in 2017 fully showcases the dynamic ability of the band, shaping the music from subtle whisper to raging density. Don’t be surprised if while listening to the album some of this material sounds very foreign to your ears and yet so familiar. The musical body Phil Minton, Pat Thomas, Dave Tucker, and Roger Turner create might be a scary one but it’s also profoundly human in its primal nature and core.

‘On A Clear Day Like This’ will be available in CD and digital editions on March 31st, 2023.

This album is absolutely on the mark! The best of what modular synth is capable of, plus a true spiritual feeling of the "griot" heritage, without aping anything. I'm more than impressed. So beautiful. wilsonnovitzki
