Undertow

Corey Mwamba presents new music with undercurrents of intensity. Featuring British guitarist Alex Ward, a saxophone supergroup and Middle Eastern-inspired sound experiments.

Corey Mwamba presents new music with undercurrents of intensity.

Our cast of players includes Susana Santos Silva and Fred Frith, who come together in a processional, synergetic duo of trumpet and electronic guitar as they "lay demons to rest." Together, they create a brooding spiral of free ferocity that bursts into ecstatic runs and cathartic solos. A deceptively impish charm dances on the surface of Hel Mel, the collaboration between Vinny Golia, Patrick Shiroishi, Catherine Sikora, Nick Skrowaczewski, Andrew Wedman and Stanley Jason Zappa. This supergroup - featuring four saxophonists - propulsively shifts between riotous vitality and implosive swinging, loose blues. Elsewhere in the programme, sound designer and field recordist AHA references Middle Eastern and Western styles through a hazy vortex of stirring strings, tectonic bowed bass and gritty atmospheric textures.
