Yoni Silver

Yoni Silver is an Israeli-born, London-based multi-instrumentalist, composer and improviser. The bass clarinet is central to his practice, although he also works with saxophone, violin, piano, voice and electronic systems.

His performance language combines extended instrumental techniques, unstable timbres and dense layers of sound, drawing on improvisation, noise and spectral approaches. He has collaborated with musicians including John Butcher, Evan Parker, John Edwards and Rhodri Davies. His Creative Sources solo recording Peep Holes explores bass-clarinet resonance, breath and percussive key sounds.
