From British Council:
The British Council and Hanoi Sound Stuff Festival 2013 present British musician Leafcutter John.

Yorkshire come London lad, Leafcutter John has graced the planet with his remarkable contributions to electronic, folk and experimental music since his primary explorations with an old computer, originally bought to write his Art School dissertation in 1998.

Since then he has released FIVE critically acclaimed albums which combine elements of music-concrete and electro-acoustic music with voice and guitar work more commonly found in folk music. He has performed his award winning work extensively throughout festivals in Europe and Australasia and also on television and radio.

Recently John composed the music for a major new production by Handspring, the pioneering puppetry company responsible for Warhorse which ran at the National Theatre before going on to the West End and Broadway.

Currently John is in the Leaf-lab developing a Light-controlled music interface, which opens up new avenues for laptop performers. He is also a full time member of the Mercury Music Award nominated contemporary Jazz band Polar Bear, providing electronics, guitar, and vocals.
