Formed in 2006, trioVD is guitarist Chris Sharkey, saxophonist Christophe de Bezenac and drummer Chris Bussey. All three musicians are closely associated with the Leeds Improvised Music Association, and have collectively worked with a varied range of artists including drummer Jack DeJohnette, saxophonist Ken Vandermark, poet/bandleader Henry Rollins, and the adventurous classical-contemporary ensemble, London Sinfonietta (an early adopter of the ECM label's rock, jazz and classical synthesist, Heiner Goebbels).
The trio are also active in metal rock. Sharkey, since 2009 simultaneously a member of Acoustic Ladyland, has worked with death metallers Bilbao Syndrome; Bussey and de Bezenac with Bilbao's close cousin Minghe Morte. De Bezenac is also involved with traditional and experimental gamelan groups.
