Robert Hampson
Having fronted legendary drone-rockers Loop and steered offshoot project Main into isolationist dub terrain over the course of the 90s, Hampson officially began his solo career under his own name with Vectors, released on Touch in 2009. Preferring to now explore other avenues of sound and its diffusion, especially multi-channel systems for live performances, Hampson was invited by the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) in Paris to compose and perform on many occasions.
