Zinc & Copper – founded by Robin Hayward in 2006 – is a trio of horn, trombone and microtonal tuba
drawing on their experience in leading ensembles such as Arnold Dreyblatts’s Orchestra of Excited Strings, CC Hennix’ Chora(s)san Time-Court Mirage and Reinhold Friedl’s zeitkratzer, each musician is a recognised virtuoso, distinguished by their creative musical abilities
they are currently developing new programmes featuring compositions by Ellen Arkbro, Amir ElSaffar, Robin Hayward, Hilary Jeffery, Duane Pitre, Eliane Radigue, Jan-Peter E.R. Sonntag and Kasper T. Toeplitz as well as group improvisations played in just intonation and amplified noise music
