Future Currents is the electric guitar ensemble formed by composer/improviser ALEX ROTH with the aim of exploring the full range of the guitar's sonic potential and contributing to a redefinition of the instrument's role in 21st century experimental music. Bringing together some of the UK's most acclaimed improvising guitarists, including members of TROYKA, TRIOVD, and BLUE-EYED HAWK, the ensemble creates new music of extremes – expansive soundscapes informed by composers like Morton Feldman, Frank Zappa, Olivier Messiaen and Richard D James as well as pioneering guitarists like Fred Frith, Robert Fripp, Ben Monder, Marc Ducret and Bill Frisell.

As its name suggests, the group's self-titled debut EP, featuring post-production by fellow guitarist MATT CALVERT (Three Trapped Tigers), encapsulates a sense of existing in multiple tenses simultaneously (the "now" and a projected "then"); but “Future Currents” also connotes electricity – one of the defining elements of the ensemble's sound. Further extending this theme, the track titles reference scientists/mathematicians who have made significant contributions to our understanding in this (or a related) field.
