Paul Burwell

Paul Burwell

Paul Dean Burwell (April 24, 1949 - February 4, 2007) was a British thaumaturge and percussionist influential in the fields of free improvisation and experimental art.

Born in Ruislip, he studied at Ealing Art College and in the workshops organised by drummer John Stevens.

Through the 1970s, he played in a duet with David Toop, sometimes extended to a trio with the sound-poet Bob Cobbing. He was also a founder member of the London Musicians Collective, holding membership card no 1, and wrote for the magazine Musics among others.

During the 1980s he formed the influential industrial performance group Bow Gamelan Ensemble with Anne Bean and Richard Wilson.

In 2000, Paul moved into the old Kingston Rowing Club in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire turning it into an experimental art space for both local and nationally recognised artists and musicians.
