Theo Travis has been added to the line-up of the 2011 edition of this festival. Theo has released 9 acclaimed solo albums, for which he composed, arranged, produced all the material and played saxophones and flute and he has played on over 90 albums in total. He has performed over 70 times at London’s Ronnie Scott’s club, tours the UK regularly with his jazz quartet, and has performed  all over the world including Japan, Norway, Finland, the USA, France, Italy,  Belgium, Switzerland, Spain,  Denmark, Germany and Israel.

As a sonic experimentalist, he has developed his own system of ambitronics which utilises looping technology to create canvases of sound on flutes and saxes that are then woven into the music he makes. Theo has developed this technique and incorporated it into his work with Robert Fripp ( 2 CDs, 2 tours)  David Sylvian (Nine Horses CD and European tour),Steven Wilson (2 solo albums, 5 Bass Communion CDs, 3 Porcupine Tree CDs , 3 No Man CDs) Cipher (8 silent film soundtracks and many UK tours and 3 CDs)  Soft Machine Legacy (2 albums, many international festivals and tours 2006 to date) Gong (2 studio CDs, 3 live albums, 2 DVDs, 3 world tours) and his solo performances. He has also collaborated with other musicians including Porcupine Tree, Palle Mikkelborg, Anja Garbarek, Mick Karn, Bill Nelson, No Man, John Etheridge, Lol Coxhill and Tony Coe.

MOJO magazine referred to him as “a brave and restless talent to watch for”.
