Astempola Colin Crichton Manchester Colin Crichton: I am a Composer, Performer and Music Producer. I have graduated in June 2011 with a first -class honours in Music Composition at Salford University and am starting a Masters in composition research at Huddersfield University in September 2011. I am fascinated by the world of new electro-acoustic music, jazz, classical and world music. Improvisation is a key element in my Astempola compositions. It is developed in conjunction with fixed notated scoring techniques. The aim of these compositions is to veer off the predictability of a rigid and repetitive beat pulse and to use electronic music in a very humanly process; a process that in essence is imperfect and therefore forever changing. Jim Parris: Double bassist and co producer. Between 1981 and 2000 Jim worked as a musician and composer in the band Carmel touring internationally, created 11 albums and numerous TV appearances. Starting around 1984, he was also active in the role of band manager. The band had global success particularly in France where they sold in excess of 1.5 million records. Collaborators and producers across the years included alongside Courtney Pine,Mike Thorne, Brian Eno, Derek Jarman and Lindsay Anderson.
