Bourbaki
Nicholas Bourbaki; an allegedly shy, reticent mathematician; was broadly hailed as a genius for his work with multiple mathmatical disciplines. The truth eventually showed Bourbaki to be nothing more than a pseudonym for a collective of French mathematicians with different specialities.
While it is perhaps a fitting moniker to describe the loose collective of Lloyd Barrett (digital signal processing), B.W.Bird (guitar/sax), Joe Musgrove (turntables, tapes, fx) and Andrew Thomson (keyboards, mixing); they prefer you use their real names.
It is perhaps a coincidence that the group strives to provide improvisational music that builds to a sound that is more than the sum of its original parts. No solo, no ego, all sound.
It is not a coincidence that they play on a cd enscribed with the label "Bourbaki", which hails from the Serbsky Institute label.
They see no reason to be alarmed at the date (23/2/3).
