Paul Burwell

Paul Burwell (1949-2007) was a British percussionist and performance artist who worked in London's free improvisation and experimental art circles from the 1970s. He is known for his long duo with David Toop, for being a founder member of the London Musicians Collective and for the Bow Gamelan Ensemble, the industrial performance group he formed in the 1980s with Anne Bean and Richard Wilson. Burwell studied drums with Max Abrams and took part, with Toop, in John Stevens's improvisation workshops at Ealing.
