The Chemical Expansion League

Prepared strings, objects, woodwinds, synthesizer and double bass

The Chemical Expansion League brings together Adam Bohman (prepared strings and objects), Sue Lynch (tenor saxophone, clarinet and flute), Adrian Northover (saxophones and electronics) and Ulf Mengersen (bowed and prepared double bass).

Their Creative Sources recordings Grappling with the Orange Porpoise (CS646) and Salute To The Rabid Raspberry (CS836) document a continuing quartet practice, moving between delicate acoustic detail, abrasive noises, electronic gestures and playful surrealism.
