Nana Tsiboe, Johnny Kalsi, Simon Limbrick, Pete Lockett, Bill Bruford
Pete Lockett's Network of Sparks was formed in 1998 and has since travelled the world collaborating with traditional music groups and musicians. The project features Pete Lockett on world percussion, Simon Limbrick on balafon/samplers/midi mallets, Nana Tsiboe on congas/djembe/thumb piano/vocals/African percussion and integrates musical styles and traditions from every part of the globe.
Collaborations have included trips to India, Nepal, Thailand, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Sudan, Malaysia and Hungary, integrating their respected and rich traditional styles with the Afro-Euro-Eastern-Contemporary basis of the trio. Highlights have included collaborations with Rock legend Bill Bruford and then a tour of India with Indian percussion masters Selva Ganesh and Viku Vinayakram.
The idea behind the project comes from the very essence of multicultural and ethnically diverse Britain. Living in London, Pete has been exposed to music from many different traditions, from Vietnamese to Azeri and Indian to Japanese; Brazilian and Cuban to Turkish and Chinese. Ever intrigued by the marvels of these traditions he slowly began studies of percussion from different cultures, culminating in what could only be described as an open minded and hybrid musical approach. The obvious thing then was to bring these styles together, not only in his own playing, but also in the very make up and structure of the group.
The first manifestation of Network of Sparks featured mainly UK based musicians, including Ghanaian Nana Tsiboe, Bhangra group ‘The Dhol Foundation’, famed Rock drummer Bill Bruford (Genesis/Yes/King Crimson), classical Western percussionist Simon Limbrick and Pete on World percussion. The result was indeed varied and difficult to pigeonhole. They released their first album One, featuring Bill Bruford and the Dhol Foundation in late 1999 and toured the UK with the Contemporary Music Network, supported by the Arts Council of England. The tour was virtually sold out and the album received much acclaim in Europe and the States.
