Hatchers is the electronics and drums duo of Michael Roy Barker and Brian Osborne. These two have developed a strong vocabulary after ten years of collaborating in George Steeltoe Ensemble and Sharks With Wings. Thier music explores influences from noise to post rock to free jazz to improvised music. Barker uses modified and homemade electronic instruments, drum machines, and modular synth, with Osborne playing a stripped down hybrid drum kit augmented by tapes, contact mics, bells and gongs. They are currently working on a full length LP that will be out in the fall of 2015. Osborne has studied with percussion master Milford Graves, and performs in the doom/free jazz duo The Gate. He has performed with Robert Beatty, Tom Blancarte, Daniel Carter, Tim Dahl, Peter Evans, Paul Flaherty, Frode Gjerstad, Michael Thomas Jackson, Oliver Lake, Joe McPhee, Dan Peck, Kevin Shea, Tamio Shiraishi, Panagiotis Spoulos, Nate Wooley, Spencer Yeh, Wretched Worst, Blastocyst, Paper Legs, Reverse Mouth, Dosdedos and more. In 2003 he founded his own record label, Heat Retention Records.
