After his brief stint with Henry Cow, horns player Geoff Leigh was active throughout Europe. In England he formed the Radar Favourite (with Charles Hayward and Charles Bullen of This Heat). In Holland he and his wife Kathy Williams helped establish the Red Balune, an art/theater/music collective that released the EPs Capitalist Kid (1978) and Maximum Penalty (1979).

In 1981 Leigh formed Black Sheep with Colin McLure and Loek Van Saus, a surrealistic variant on Henry Cow, that debuted with the EP Animal Sounds (MCCB, 1982).

From Here To Drums (No Man's Land, 1988) collects several experiments recorded over a four-year period.

Leigh then released From Here To Drums (1988), Mirage (2006), and Upstream (2009) with keyboardist Yumi Hara.

Geoff Leigh (flute, sax and electronics), John Greaves (bass and grand piano) and Chris Cutler (percussion) formed Artaud Beats that also included Yumi Hara on piano, clavichord and synth. The project debuted with Live At Avantgarde Festival (august 2009), followed by the more mature Logos (ReR, 2015).
