Ed Williams
I'm a harpsichordist, guitarist and composer roaming the interstices between early music practices, noise improvisation and experimental composition.
Currently based between Marseille, France, and Basel, Switzerland, I'm working with instruments such as microtonal organ, amplified harpsichords and viola da gamba on open compositions that combine 16th-century improvisation methods with the contemporary performance practice called Real-Time Composition in an attempt to explore care- and risk-taking collaborative processes through deep, iterative exploration of tones and timbres.
