“trubba not” is the musical persona of Martin Donkin playing mainly free improvisation particularly with the Shunyata Improvisation Group https://shunyataimprovisationgroup.weebly.com/
and  in Newcastle upon Tyne's free improvisation scene. trubba not selects  field recordings, and makes ambient compositions of which the Archangel series is his most significant work which provides a personal emotional response to individual legends whose themes revolve around liberation from shame and transformation.   You can view the whole archangel series album at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYysfXva1s8
