LEAFCUTTER JOHN
Bradford-born, Wakefield-raised, John Burton grew up fascinated by sound but it wasn’t until halfway through his painting degree at the Norwich School of Art and Design that he discovered a computer he was using to write his dissertation could take him on new sonic adventures by recording and manipulating sound.
His first recordings reached the offices of Planet Mu Records in 1999, where its founder and Aphex Twin collaborator Mike Paradinas encouraged John’s more experimental efforts. During this time, he acquired his artist name, suggested by a friend who compared his creativity and industriousness to a leafcutter ant.
Since 2000, John has released seven studio albums, toured widely and received a prestigious Paul Hamlyn Foundation award. Aside from his solo work, he’s written for theatre, dance, and radio. He was also a key member of experimental jazz band Polar Bear, recording five albums with them and picking up two Mercury Prize nominations. John has performed with Shabaka Hutchings, Talvin Singh, and Imogen Heap and
supported Matmos, Otomo Yoshihide,Yo La Tengo and Beck.
