Among the founding members was one of their teachers, English composer <a href="/wiki/Gavin_Bryars" title="Gavin Bryars">Gavin Bryars</a>.

Instead of picking the most competent musicians he could find, he encouraged anyone to join, regardless of talent, ability or experience. The only rules were that everyone had to come for rehearsals and that people should try their best to get it right and not intentionally try to play badly.
