Guitarist Arthur Bull has been active on the Canadian free improvisation scene since the ‘70s. Much like his compatriot, pianist Al Neil, or the British guitarist Roger Smith, he has kept a low profile and has remained cruelly under-documented. His playing draws inspiration in Derek Bailey‘s musical vocabulary, with maybe a hint of folk or American roots music in the phrasing. Arthur is also a poet, with three collections published in Canada and a translator from Chinese to English. In the early 2000s he earned a living developing local resource management programs for fishing communities in Nova Scotia, Canada.
