Live sounds from this UK-based experimental beat combo, combining real-time sampling on everything from dictaphone to guitar pedals, with quirky instrumentation, sound musicianship, and a dark sense of humour- a wonderful journey thru a low-tech paradise
Bio / Background
Who are the Surf Messengers?
Are they a soundscape co-operative, a jazz quartet, a beat combo or an experimental outfit? Probably none of the above (though sometimes all).
What we can be sure of is, whatever instrumentation they choose to use, whether it be regular or radical, the resulting music is always interesting, frequently challenging, sometimes darkly humorous and often extremely beautiful.
They have played together in various guises since as far back as the early 80's.
Recordings made of the early sessions were only ever 2 track stereo affairs, circulated amongst band and friends. Since then they have gradually got the high tech stuff that enabled them to make quality, mixable records of these sessions and proper CDs that could be circulated more widely and gain them the reputation they now enjoy.
