46000 Fibres
''' Improvising band. Electronic, Abstract, Experimental. London UK. 1990s 10 albums. 2 core members: Tonal D, Leon Maurice-Jones. It all started after Scanners left Kovenoe and they had to come up with a new name. Tonal D, allways very good at creating and using words, came up with the 46000 Fibres tag. It is about stereo hearing; 2300 fibres vibrate in each ear capturing sound and sending it to the brain. The band was very much praised by critics of the genre. The sound was deeply original and organic. Being very flexible it ranged from ethereal delicacy to hard corrosive industrial, including pounding rhythms, classical avant-guard, space rock, gamelan, poetry in unknown languages, experimental Jazz, dark funk and many more. A performance was often a 40 Minuit set of total commitment. Captivating and magical, performances could go from exquisite to terrifying in a moment. One audience member said of it " I didn't know whether to dance or run" Another "This isn't music,, is it?" and yet another "That was some of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard". The basic idea was not to arrange anything or even talk about what they were going to do but go on stage and make it sound as if it was all deliberate while never making a faux-par along the way. Audiences were left in no doubt, these were passionate performances with not a note wasted. They produced 10 albums in 10 years, available on the MTB label.
