Leafcutter John: short biography
Since his first release on Planet-Mu records in 2000, London-based Leafcutter John (aka John Burton) has developed a strong musical identity using processed instrumental and environmental recordings. His third album The Housebound Spirit (Planet-Mu, 2003) won an Honorary Mention at the 2004 Ars Electronica Awards and was featured on The Wire magazine's top 50 records of 2003. His fourth album, The Forest And The Sea, was released by the Berlin-based Staubgold label in June 2006. Leafcutter John was trained as a fine artist and took off into experimental music. He is known for elegant sound constructions that swing between folk and experimental electronica and is currently a band member of the experimental jazz line-up Polar Bear.
