This first release on Paradigm Discs includes many new names and is intended to redress the imbalance between the lack of new experimental music in London compared with the proliferation of the tried and tested. "Variations - a London compilation" is a showcase of 7 new London based experimental artists. Kymatik has been experimenting with music technology for several years. Crow is better known for his work in installation and performance art, whilst John Grieve is primarily a sound sculptor who was also a member of the early 80's Dadaist group Hastings Of Malawi. Andrew Jacques works at These Records and Adam Bohman is an original member of Morphogenesis. All the artists are involved in a wide diversity of musical disciplines but none have been released on CD before, with the exception of John Wall and Alquimia who, at the time of writing, both have two CD's available.
