Dominic Lash was awarded an MA in Composition by Oxford Brookes University in 2003, and a PhD by Brunel University in 2010, for research into the work of guitarist Derek Bailey, composer Helmut Lachenmann and poet JH Prynne. Lash is largely self-taught on double bass, which he took up in 2001, although he had played and studied bass guitar since 1994. Formerly an active member of the Oxford Improvisers Collective, Lash relocated to New York in March 2011. He has performed
on the international stage with musicians as varied as Tony Conrad, Evan Parker and the late Steve Reid. In 2009 he toured in a quartet with Joe Morris, Tony Buck and Tony Bevan. He has performed with The London Improvisers Orchestra and in a notable trio with John Butcher and John Russell. He is also a member of the experimental music group The Set Ensemble and the transatlantic Convergence Quartet.
