I saw Powerplant perform at the Wiltshire Music Centre a few weeks ago. Percussionist Joby Burgess set up Powerplant with video artist Kathy Hinde and sound designer Matthew Fairclough in 2006. Kathy was a Creative Arts student at Bath Spa University. Have a look at their websites and particularly their blogs. One of the pieces they performed was Chain of Command by Graham Fitkin, which uses a new electronic midi-marimba type instrument - a xylosynth - to present a speech based piece hovering around the edges of abstract sound and language in music.
