Out of the ashes of the David Camerons austerity measures comes a new collective performing stripped-back versions of some of the music from Richard Iles’s Miniature Brass Emporium, as well as new original material. The quartet provides an intimate setting for some of his larger expansive music and a chance to hear the pieces as they were originally conceived. Microscopic is the new miniature version.
 
Microscopic are:
 Richard iles – trumpet/flugel
 Mike Williams – alto saxophone
 Les Chisnall – piano
 Percy Pursglove – bass
 
As an ex member of the SNJO, Richard has recently performed with Joe Lovano, John Scofield and Gary Burton; Mike Williams is an unsung hero amongst UK saxophonists and this will be a rare appearance by one of our most original players; Les has worked with some of the world’s finest musicians, including Kenny Wheeler, John Taylor and Ian Ballamy; Percy, best known as a trumpet player, is also a gifted bassist, having recently appeared with Evan Parker and The Claudia Quintet.

Threenil was started in September 2011 by drummer Ric Yarborough. Drawing inspiration from bands such as Mark Guiliana's Beat Music, Alasnoaxis, Octurn and Lidlboj, the group are also hugely influenced by Minimalism, Metal and Post Rock.

The band have already released their first E.P. and their debut album will be available later this year after being signed by Pinkhaus records in Birmingham. You can follow Threenil on Facebook or Twitter to find out more
