The Odes are electronic musician and sound artist Sam Britton, aka Isambard Khroustaliov, and saxophonist, poet, singer and puppeteer Ted Milton. The latter, the frontman and sole constant member of post-punk trio Blurt since 1979, has been active since the 1960s when he published his first volume of verse. Together the duo fuse avant garde sound assemblages, improvisation, electroacoustic textures, politically charged poetry, free jazz saxophone and propulsive rhythms. tedmilton.net, not-applicable.org
