Note! Nurse With Wound's concert at Savoy-teatteri on May 20 has been cancelled. Tickets can be returned to box office Lippupalvelu.
Since 1978 Nurse with Wound is the main recording name for British experimental musician Steven Stapleton.
Stapleton's fondness for dada, surrealism and absurdist humor are demonstrated in much of NWW's output, which, though it draws directly on a wide assortment of genres (including cabaret music, avantagrde, nursery rhymes krautrock, ambient music and easy listening) retains a distinctive and recognizable aura.
Musique concrete may be the most prominent touchstone, due to Stapleton's frequent, and often humorous, use of creative loopsand editing. This aesthetic is fully represented in the artwork on the album covers, virtually all of which is created by Stapleton, mostly under the pseudonym "Babs Santini".
NWW has released almost 100 records including full legth albums and eps and although Stapleton has sole curatorship of NWW, the group has a long and illustrious list of collaborators including Coil, Current 93, Whitehouse, Jim “Foetus” Thirlwell , Faust, Larsen, Stereolab, Jim O' Rourke, Christoph Heemann, Cyclobe, Blind Cave Salamander, Andrew Liles, Colin Potter, Irr. App (ext)...
In 2006, NWW returned to live performance after a 22-year absence.
