Run Logan Run
Run Logan Run are a head on collision of pounding tribal drums and screaming
guttural saxophone. Architects of intense contrast the duo's diverse and precise
instrumentation regularly flirts with fragility and raw power. Formed through a
shared passion for improvisation, spiritual jazz and heavier experimental music,
they are Andrew Neil Hayes (Saxophones/FX) and Dan Johnson (Drum
Kit/Percussion), and have been authoring their own narrative in the new wave
of crossover jazz, whilst touring the UK extensively, sharing stages with the likes
of Colin Stetson, Melt Yourself Down, Shabaka Hutchings, Sarathy Korwar and
Hieroglyphic Being.

electronics, Il Santo Bevitore is the moniker of Sardinian drummer and
percussionist, Nicola Serra. His most recent works feature sound and healing
therapist and shamanic practitioner, Lani Rocillo, on vocals. Together they
investigate the relationship between percussion and shamanism using repetition
as a key to hypnotise and trance the listener.

disruptive semblance. And yet, for as long as you close your eyes, the illusion is
perfect." - Tokafi.

consequently one is pulled into the material's spidery web." - Textura.
