Bacillus is the solo project of Ian Simpson, a UK based improviser and composer. All the work realised under this project uses electronics and sound manipulation as its textural medium. Some of the works are improvised and some use a graphic or text scores as their basis. Many use found sounds and field recordings. Some of the source material has come from Ians very first experiments with tapes and electronics in the 1980’s Bacillus is purely a studio project at the current time mainly due to live commitments with other projects.
