The beauty of improvisation is that, at its best, it creates something perfectly fitted to the moment it was created in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSiapiau is a new project from four improvisers who have been playing together in different formats for over twenty years. It's a band who aren't afraid of the experimental, but aren't afraid of a good groove either. It's improvised music that you could, at times, dance to. The line-up is Maggie Nicols on voice and keyboard, Fran Bass on electric bass, Richard Harrison on Drums and percussion and Phil Hargreaves on tenor\/soprano sax and flute. Although Maggie is the main vocalist, we all sing. As does everybody, of course.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFran Bass - electric bass, voice, little instruments\u003cbr\u003ePhil Hargreaves - tenor\/soprano sax, flute, voice, little instruments\u003cbr\u003eRichard Harrison - drums\/percussion, voice, little instruments\u003cbr\u003eMaggie Nicols - voice, keyboard, little instruments\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePress:\u003c\/b\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'The album is balanced on the edge of sounds. Yet the more sounds that are created, the less on the edge they become and soon the listener realises they are mainstream human - heard in the street, in the air, around the house, in the weather, in the bathroom pipes, car sounds on the road outside, birdsong and insect sounds from the bushes and trees. Siapiau tell us that all these sounds are ours, are human, consciously or subconsciously heard and absorbed by us, and felt, seen and heard by all of us, becoming a part of their worlds too.' - \u003cb\u003eChris Searle, Morning Star\u003c\/b\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'I found this disc to be immensely charming, silly at times and even quite weird at times yet still fun.
