The Artaud Beats

Band,
Jazz and Rock

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".
