Announcing the VVWI Limited Love Orchestra - first gig at matter Nov 7

In the tradition of The Bays, Jamie Lidell, 2020 Soundsystem and other on-the-fly electronic musical creators, the VVWI Limited Love Orchestra features tracks created by musicians playing MIDI instruments, live looping and FX, with no pre-recorded material, no lipsyncing. All sweat, no sleight of hand.

The label scoured the phlegmatic wilds of the north of england - specifically, the Leeds College of Music, one of Europe's premier classical and studio seats of musical learning - to create a four-man MIDI masterpiece of great digital fluidity. With tracks built up on the fly, It's impossible to tell when the DJ ends and the band begins, with all sounds played live by the jazz hands of... "

He has performed with many bands and musicians over the years including Marc Ribot (Tom Waites Band) Andy Gangadeen (The Bays) Jerry Dammers and many of the Acid Jazz bands of the early 90's.
