'Ross Flight is a one man band, playing acoustic and electric guitars, resampling and looping textures with a laptop, programming drum machines and playing keyboard all at once! Hailing from Scarborough, Ross has only recently become a Brighton resident, and has already gathered an impressive following for his superb flowing live sets' - Sam, Instrumentality
'As an accomplished flutist & guitarist, Ross started experimenting with nu-technology a couple of years ago. Now resembling a 21st Century one man band, he plays all manner of instruments and manipulates sound with every available digit. Tonight he presents a collage of different musical moods and textures, from radio static to classical music to layers of delicate guitar loops. As layers of sound build upon each other,Ross allows the music to evolve and grow, sometimes seeming as intrigued as to where
its heading as the audience. The room turns into a sea of smiles when his set climaxes
with a glorious vocoded version of toddler-rock anthem 'What's My Name Again'. An enjoyable
and engaging set from Ross and a indicator that tonight could be special'. Ian Roberts - outofthevoid.co.uk

Saturday 2nd June - The nob out room - The Railway Inn, Winchester, UK - with shinra and gracie.
when i perform live i use a number of guitars, flute, calimba, glockenspiel and whatever instrument i can get my hands on and make a noise with. the show involves lots of live sampling where i record the instruments while i am playing, and loop them so they become part of the songs.
i also use a number of midi controllers to manipulate effects, trigger samples, distort audio, and to generally 'play' the sounds coming out of the computer. i try to get as much control over the recording and manipulating of the sounds as i can, to make a real performance out of my music.
