Three incredible musicians with so many different approaches individually that the possible routes their first-time musical union could take us down must surely be approaching infinite. Oren Ambarchi appeared at TUSK 2013, both solo and in another first-time trio with Mick Flower and Neil Campbell; he played drums, guitar and electronics, even forced us to…
