clutter works with a mixture of found sounds/field recordings and traditional instruments to produce highly textured soundscapes which drift in and out of focus. Sometimes they float beautifully near dub and dance other times they rattle your head. At all times clutter produces works of excellence.
clutter is the brainchild of audio/visual artist shaun blezard who has produced music for film, theatre, dance and art installations. for more information and other sounds/visuals check out www.shaunblezard.com

clutter is currently putting together a new live set and is looking for gigs in your area. please get in touch if there is anywhere worth cluttering up. gig swaps are available as i am looking to get some experimental nights going in barrow.
clutter also likes to collaborate with like minded people, so if you want a clutter remix or want to do some writing/file swaping let me know.
cheers for listening and remember there is always room for more clutter

I'm not usually one for the experimental world but I was intrested with you guys being from barrow, like me, and not being a god awfull punk band. I have to say I was impressed by not only your music but the concepts you use that reflect our area. Well done
