Ampersand are an improvisational sound ensemble who started performing in 2002. They have played over 100 times throughout Europe. Notable performances include supporting Einsturzende Neubauten in 2004, the Supernormal Festival in 2019 and playing the world famous 100 Club in 2021. Ampersand produce a wall of industrial noise that envelops the audience in the act and art of the moment. A pan-generational group utilising a mass of found objects, engineered metal, deconstructed traditional instruments and audio toys. Ampersand performances arise from the moment, the place, the atmosphere, the occurrences of that day. The sounds are imposed on all the senses, taking the audience to a charged and super-layered emotional state.
