In his early creative journey Anthony (aka Dahu) independently studied composers from Purcell and J.S. Bach, through to Beethoven, Debussey, Prokofiev, Schoenberg, Stockhausen and John Cage. First learning the piano, classical clarinet and working with Atari computers to produce music, Anthony has frequently looked for ways of fusing the traditional and established with the innovative both in academia and in subculture. Inspired by Duke Ellington, Miles Davis and John Coltrane he was trained by British Jazz legends Pete Churchill, Don Rendell, Keith Tippet and American saxophonist Jean Toussaint.
In 1999 he studied ethnomusicology and African Studies at SOAS, after which he released several self produced recording and writings, based on his eponymous 'Mumagi' cosmological platform (1999 - 2015), opened at Steve Bicknels 'Lost' for the legendary Detroit techno pioneer Jeff Mills, with his musical group Mumagi DuKru (2000, 2001), orchestrated a sold out live music and dance event at London International Jazz Festival in (2003) and toured Europe with Meshell Ndegeocellos 'Spirit Music Jamia' (Jahi Lake, Chris 'Daddy' Dave, Ron Blake, Michael Cain) in 2005. In 2023 Anthony has contributed saxophone improvisation to an album of bioelectrical recordings with Michael Allen Z Prime on the Mycelial Network project and has recently begun working with the Lo-Fi Ensemble.
Throughout his career Anthony has travelled to gain experience and inspiration for his creativity, taking him on adventures to St. Lucia, Martinique, Indonesia, New York, Senegal, Gambia, Morrocco and around Europe. Between 2016 - 2018 he lived as a busker on the streets of Granada, Andalusia; the experience of which inspired his Masters dissertation.
Anthony completed his MArch in 2023, studying part time at LSBU where he gained a distinction and an award for academic excellence for his dissertation on reclaiming magic for architectural research and practice and maintains a keen interest in the links between music, philosophy, art and architecture.
'I am deeply passionate about breaking free from conventional boundaries in my creative and collaborative endeavors. My work centers on transcending standard notions of race, religion, genre, discipline and even the boundaries of humanity itself. I am already engaged in innovative collaborations with non-human entities, such as rocks, found objects, specific places, and the intricate networks of production and energy that power our modern world. These unconventional partnerships have allowed me to explore new dimensions of communication and perception.
I am open to further collaborations, commissions, or projects that expand the horizons of connectivity and push the boundaries of what is considered possible. My goal is to foster a more profound understanding of our world and our place within it by listening to the unheard voices, whether they emanate from the natural world, the energy grids, or other unexpected sources. I invite anyone who shares this passion for transcending traditional limits to join me in this journey of exploration and discovery.' ADM
