Richard Grantham, is a classically-trained composer and band-hardened multi-instrumentalist based in Brisbane, Australia. He is sometimes a viola player, sometimes a one-man, one-viola, seventy-five-effect-pedal band. Using loop recorders and harmoniser pedals in particular, a single instrument becomes a full string and percussion orchestra.

His instrument of choice is a carbon-fibre Luis and Clark viola, which has been customised with the addition of a fifth (E) string. Looping gear is in a state of constant flux.
