The Dust Collectors

The Dust Collectors are a maelstrom of warped grooves, strange beats and vaudeville pop



with just a wiff of free jazz and cantankerous experimentation.



Described by some as being

“.like the house band of a Victorian asylum in a David Lynch



movie. Visually and sonically stunning, the Dust Collectors



stroll the line between genius and insanity.”

The Dust Collectors began their glorious path to musical weirdness amidst a deluge of rain,



a broken down Dragon (Mechanical) and a delapedated flea circus.



In 2002 they were two, but collected members along the way to form



a twisted orchestra designed to explore the diverse realms of performance



using words, sonics and the cinematic.



Recent ventures have seen the Dust Collectors:



• Collaborate with Film Makers and members of the Magic Circle to construct an

original theatre performance



to coincide with Quad, Derby’s major arts organization’s

exhibition on the theme of magic.



• A week of collaboration with Pat Thomas (International Pianist and Free Improvisor)



• Orchestrating and performing live soundtracks to the silent films of



Murneau’s ‘Nosferatu’ & Hitchcock’s ‘The Stranger’.



• Writing / producing their own films and playing live accompaniment to



‘The Steam Priests’ and ‘The Men Without Eyes’ with filmmaker and

musician Jon Samsworth.



• Creating a soundtrack to Shadow Puppet narratives in a collaboration



of strange theatre within the context of Derby’s Festival of Arts event.
