Caudal is a new trio featuring Aidan Baker (CA – Nadja, B/B/S/, etc.) on guitar, Gareth Sweeney (IE – Gout) on bass, and Felipe Salazar (CO – Muerte En Pereira) on drums. Baker’s multi-layered, heavily affected guitar overlays Sweeney and Salazar’s driving, propulsive rhythm section creating music equally influenced by krautrock, post-punk, and spacerock. Their debut album "Forever In Another World" was released in April 2013 by Oaken Palace Records. Their second album "Acension" is forthcoming on Consouling Sounds.

The collective around the bass player Loïc Grobéty, focuses to an enriched tension between composition and improvisation in powerful sounds. After two conceptual CDs in crossover style – Jazz, Metal, Classic, Free – and changing collaborations of various artists and musicians, Convulsif is about to concentrate to heavier sounds and to a fixer line up. With a special instrumentation – a classic rhythm section and heavy amplified, treated violin & bass clarinet – they go deep in the sound of the actual metal scene and mix different tendencies to a new unknown conglomerate: Grind, Doom, Drone, Black Metal and Soundscapes are played with the means of conceptual improvisation and imposed themes. All colored by a very uncommon instrumentation. Convulsif are at present : Jamasp Jhabvala : violin & electronic / Christian Müller : clarinet & electronic / Loïc Grobéty : bass / Maxime Hänsenberger : drums
