Bedmakers is an occasional Anglo-French quartet of improvisers associated with the Toulouse based collective Freddy Morezon. They use the strapline “Tribute To An Imaginary Folk Band”. The album title, as well as meaning the mountain pass shown on the album cover, also translates as balaclava!
What Bedmakers do is to take fragments of folk tunes, and melodies that might once have been folk tunes. They interweave strange sounds and free improvisation into the melodies, and they turn them inside out in a unique way.The French-born clarinet and saxophone player Robin Fincker was well known on the London scene in the 2000s as a co-founder of the Loop Collective, and in some fine bands such as Outhouse and Blink. Mathieu Werchowski is French violinist operating in the field of contemporary music and as a composer/sound designer. Dave Kane is a Leeds based improvising bass player and producer. Fabien Duscombs is a Toulouse based drummer associated with several Freddy Morezon groups.
