ABOUT THE HAFLER TRIO
=====================

The Hafler Trio was formed in 1981 by Dr Edward Moolenbeek, Christopher R
Watson (formerly a member of Cabaret Voltaire) and Andrew M McKenzie.
It would seem that, some years later (probably between 1987 and 1989,
but that's only a guess), Moolenbeek and Watson ceased any form of
active collaboration. Now the Hafler 'Trio' is a 'collective enchanted
loom' centered around Mr McKenzie and receiving inspiration by many
different people, among whom are Zbigniew Karkowski, John Duncan, Annie
Sprinkle, Adi Newton (T.A.G.C., CLOCKDVA) and Genesis P-Orridge (Throbbing
Gristle, Psychic TV).
