New Release – Glue

Glue by Tom Arthurs, Miles Perkin &, Yorgos Dimitriadis is now available! Full details here.

‘The music of the trio comes directly from the multitudinous musical experiences of the three musicians, and is totally freely improvised without any predetermined thematic guidelines. For these musicians it’s about a coherent group music: no solos with accompaniment, rather a closely interwoven network of equal instruments. The pieces almost always begin with a clean slate, with a silence from which acoustic structures are carved like sculptures. The musicians are simultaneously performers and listeners, allowing the music space and finding surprise in whatever comes into being between them.’
