John Wall: “contemporary composition of the highest order” - Dan Warburton, Paris Transatlantic
John Edwards & Mark Sanders: “complete musicians, capable of extracting a tremendous variety of sounds from their instruments and placing them exactly where they ought to be . . . this is music that transcends style or technique. It's about movement, drama, timbre, texture and most of all the wordless communication necessary to put it all together" - Bill Meyer, Signal to Noise
Electroacoustic composer John Wall – described ten years ago as “one of the most original composers working in the last decade of the twentieth century” and going from strength to strength in the first decade of the twenty-first – is joined for this performance by double bass virtuoso John Edwards and master drummer Mark Sanders. Mixing improvisation with composition, the group creates meticulous and visceral music which redraws boundaries, undoes hierarchies, and opens up new and vital possibilities of sound for the twenty-first century.
Also performing are the duo of Nick Moore (saxophone) and Roger Skerman (percussion), whose intuitive interaction produces improvisations of rare delicacy and power.
