Ivor Kallin

Ivor Kallin grew up in Strathbungo in the south side of Glasgow a long time ago, moving to London in the late seventies. He is essentially an improviser, playing viola with string trio Barrel (www.hannahmarshall.net) and the London Improvisers Orchestra (both projects with CDs on Emanem), and also on a solo viola pibroch/improv digital release on Linear Obsessional. He also plays bass with Ya Basta,Glowering Figs and previously with the London Electric Guitar Orchestra (213 Records) and the Horseless Headmen (North Circular Records). He has also been known to spout dreadful poetry as Ambrosia Rasputin on Resonance FM and in performance with various unsuspecting collaborators. He has worked with John Bisset to create a plethora of short, yet singular, films as 213TV (Youtube), and together released A Schlep from Strathbungo (213 Records) featuring guitar and aforementioned poetry on location in Glasgow.
