Biographies:
John García Rueda is a music composer, sound designer and performer of the Colombian tiple. He focuses on a cross-genre approach to sound and surrounds ethnomusicological research. He has composed music and designed sound for documentaries, video, dance, and multimedia installations. He has also participated in audiovisual concerts and has been involved in interdisciplinary collaborations with the areas of fine arts and literature.
CLIVE BELL is a musician, composer and writer with a specialist interest in the shakuhachi, khene and other Far Eastern wind instruments.
He has travelled extensively in Japan (where he studied the shakuhachi or Japanese flute with the master Kohachiro Miyata), Thailand, Laos and Bali, researching music and meeting local practitioners. In 2011 he played with Jah Wobble at Ronnie Scott’s and the Glastonbury Festival, and toured the UK with Mugenkyo Taiko drummers (contemporary Japanese drumming).
Clive is the shakuhachi player on Karl Jenkins's album Requiem on EMI Classics, and the final two Harry Potter movies. His shakuhachi playing was featured in a live solo session on Radio 3’s Late Junction, and in 2013 on Radio 3’s In Tune.
A musician who regularly joins David Ross, Sylvia Hallett and Peter Cusack in improvisation duos and trios, Clive Bell has a substantial recording history as both a solo artist (his solo album, Shakuhachi: The Japanese Flute was reissued in 2005 by ARC Records) and as a composer for film, TV and theatrical productions (Complicite, IOU, Whalley Range Allstars).
Belfast-born cellist Gabriella Swallow commenced her musical studies at Chethams’ School of Music. In 1999 she was awarded an ABRSM Scholarship to study cello at the Royal College of Music with Jerome Pernoo and composition with Timothy Salter. As an undergraduate, she was Principal Cello of the RCM Sinfonietta and Symphony Orchestras, and performed with the New Perspectives Ensemble under Edwin Roxburgh where she developed her passion for contemporary music. Gabriella has been a guest on Music Matters and was one of the permanent guests on BBC 4’s live TV coverage of The BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. She is also the subject of visual artist Idris Khan’s new film ‘After Bach..A Memory’. In June 2005 Gabriella was appointed Principal Cello of the London Contemporary Music Group.
