MARGINAL CONSORT
Genres: Jazz Related Improv, Composition • Japan

Marginal Consort is a Japanese avant-garde improvisational collective made of sound and visual artists, who were all students of Takehisa Kosugi at the radical Bigaku school of aesthetics in Tokyo in the 70s. The group is a reformation of the East Bionic Symphonia, a large improvisation ensemble in the spirit of his Kosugi’s Group Ongaku and Taj Mahal Travellers projects, who released an incredible self-titled long-form drone record in the early 80s. from http://stjohnsessions.co.uk
