Mini Profile
THF Drenching is a free improvisor and composer of musique concrète, based in Manchester, England. As a dictaphone-player, he was one fifth of Derek Bailey's final band Limescale, and has played with many of the UK's best improvisors. He was also half of the bricks and dictaphone duo Pleasure-Drenching Improvers. As a poet (writing under his slave name, Stuart Calton) he's published four books. Three came out on Barque Press and one is self-published. His fifth is awaiting publication. As a composer, he's completed thirteen albums of musique concrète, electronic music and various dubious overdubbed semi-improvised amalgams. These have been on sale at Fenland Hi-Brow Recordings for years, but are now being made freely available on Free Music Archive instead. I'm supposed to be a Communist after all. Plus there's a recession on, right? Is your Moms sending you money?
His new record label is Council of Drent, a mail-order joint residing at www.councilofdrent.com. So far he's released two albums on't. These being "Whole Head Spring Finch" and "Doomed Shop! (Part One)". You've got all these other ones free, knowmsayn?, so why not simply buy those albums and then listen to them? On your stereo?
