艺人介绍
The Artaud Beats came together in a chance encounter at Jean-Hervé Peron's Avantgarde Festival in Schiphorst, 2009. Geoff Leigh and Yumi Hara were there as a duo, Chris Cutler and John Greaves were in a quartet with Peter Blegvad and Dagmar Krause. It was Geoff who proposed the quartet and Jean-Hervé enthusiastically supported the idea. The concert was fine, the public happy and a Norwegian promoter from Bodo, who happened to be in the audience, immediately invited them to his next festival. So a casual meeting metamorphosed into a band.
Since Geoff, Chris, and John had all been in Henry Cow together in the 1970s, they gave themselves a name with a (subtle) reference to Henry Cow's famous composition "Living In The Heart Of The Beast, thus becoming "The Artaud Beats".

- @OZbass：And here’s what the tracklist looks like: 1. Logos 2. Ipso Facto 3. Prefab Wreckage 4-6. Power / Once Around The Earth / The Floating Word 7. Per Se 8. E=mc2 (Bob Drake mix)
- @OZbass：Since then we kept doing that kind of stuff, and you can hear it on ‘Prefab Wreckage.’ You see, it is groove that matters to me, as it is different from straight 5/8+5/8.”
- @OZbass：I came up with a new idea of doing West African groove in 5/8+5/8 which, I believe, nobody else has ever done it before, and I explained it to Chris on the airplane on our way to Japan tour in 2013; he got it immediately, and we played it on the same night in Nagoya…
- @OZbass：Says Yumi Hara: “The music sounds new, it doesn’t resemble anything, there’s no nostalgia. I am very interested in creating unusual grooves – not simply ‘rhythm’ or ‘beats,’ but ‘grooves’ – and I’m so lucky to be able to work with Chris on those.
- @OZbass：Yet it’s a completely fresh experiment, though, with not a lot of looking back to Canterbury scene – as if it’s shadows are escapable.
- @OZbass：There and then, the four decided to form a quartet, but it’s only now that THE ARTAUD BEATS release their first studio album, “Logos,” after a few years of playing live and having their concerts captured on a very-limited-edition box set and CDRs.
- @OZbass：THE ARTAUD BEATS: Not HENRY COW Reincarnation It started back in 2009, when pianist and singer Yumi Hara and reeds player Geoff Leigh recorded "Upstream" and, around that time, met the latter’s former HENRY COW colleagues, bassist John Greaves and drummer Chris Cutler, at a festival.
