Duncan’s main project at the moment is his trio “Partikel” which he writes, performs and rehearses regularly with. The band features two up-and-coming London based musicians: Max Luthert (Bass) and Eric Ford (Drums). Partikel have released 2 albums and the latest CD is called “Cohesion” and its out now on Whirlwind recordings. The band finished a major UK tour to support the album at the end of last year and are now looking forward to developing some new material for a new record and some European touring at the end of this year.
