Vultures Quartet is an improvising and new music group based in London, England; consisting of core members Matt Chilton, Will Connor and Anthony Donovan; whose current revolving fourth member policy has led to live collaborations with the likes of Steve Beresford, Damo Suzuki, Ernesto Tomasini, Sandeep Mishra and Jo Quail. (Previous fourth member Dan Beattie moved on to other projects in Dec. 2010.) The group mixes electro-acoustic, dark ambient, free jazz and industrial, utilising conventional instruments played unconventionally, open-source software, found objects and homemade instruments and electronics. Beginning as mainstays of the London improv scene in late 2008, Vultures Quartet has by now performed across Britain, America and Europe, supporting the likes of Fred Frith, Faust, Nurse With Wound, John Butcher, Adam Bohman, Furt, Phil Waschmann and Seb Roachford, with releases on SubRosa and Born in Mind, and forthcoming with Tzadik, Zos Kia Sounds, and Somber Soniks, plus appearances on numerous compilations.
