Jasper Tx, Alex Monk, and Danny Saul

Event information

Jasper TX

Jasper TX is the musical moniker of Sweden's Dag Rosenqvist. Using electric and acoustic guitar, piano, pump organ, melodica, glockenspiel, voice and various other instruments as a foundation for his compositions, Dag has managed to create his own musical universe. Elements of post rock, drone, improvisation, noise and lo-fi aesthetics mix with a melodic pop sensibility that results in something quite unique.

Dag grew up in a strictly religious town in southern Sweden and from an early age he used music as a way to escape from mundane small town life. Initially just a means to preserve ideas, Dag began to record songs onto a 4-track portable cassette recorder and Jasper TX was born. After eventually realising that he could do something more with the recordings he slowly began to refine both his musical ideas and his recording skills.


Alex Monk

Alex Monk is a musician and producer based in London, once described as a "fringe psychedelicist operating in the realms of concrete ambience". He has released two limited run CD-Rs to acclaim and plays shows regularly. Monk uses a range of sonic sources including mandolin, guitars, found sounds, his own voice (and others), keyboards, and analogue and digital effects. Alex's performances are often improvised, frequently using song and plainchant as the center-point; a means to invoke new melodies, mood and space during live performances. His work has been compared to that of Moondog, Brian Eno, Roy Montgomery and Laurie Anderson.


Danny Saul

Danny Saul is an experimental musician and songwriter based in Manchester, UK. Aside from his work as a solo performer, his involvement in a variety of projects over the past few years have included an ongoing improvisational partnership with Greg Haines (working under the name Liondialer), and a number of notable collaborations and live performances with the likes of Ben Frost, Machinefabriek, Peter Broderick, Jasper TX and Simon Scott among others. His solo album 'Harsh, Final.' was released on his own label, White Box Recordings, at the tail end of 2009.
