In addition to this they have performed live improvisational sets with Chadbourne, Steve Buchanan and Otomo Yoshide as well as providing live music for various theatre companies during the Ostia Antica, Gubbio and Palestrina festivals. They have also participated in several radio programmes (for Radio France, B92 Belgrade and Rai Radio 3). In The Zu Side of Chadbourne, along with tracks composed for the occasion, you can hear extremely creative reworkings of two classics of free ja
