Just published a video from a very special recording session with Spaces Unfolding (Phil Wachsmann/Neil Metcalfe) last year. Our debut album 'The Way We Speak' will be out on Bead Records 10th November. Give it a watch/listen if you'd like!

Big thanks to Arts Council England for awarding me a Develop Your Creative Practice grant. Over the next year, I will be developing new approaches for solo percussion, the format that initially sparked my journey as an improviser.
Joining me on this project are a close-knit group of partners, including my local radio station, Chapel FM Arts Centre, which will be showcasing works in progress. My process will also be documented in my newsletter, featuring sound samples, photos, and more.
Had the great pleasure of curating a playlist for @thewiremagazine on behalf of Bead Records.

The final track welcomes Tom Challenger for his Bead debut, in trio with @alex_bonney and @tremblap , also known as light.box
‘Eyre’ comes out 28th Feb, with pre orders from today!

"But how does it sound?", you might ask. Reviews are coming in and they are good! This week, we were part of Bandcamp's 'New and Notable' list:

London friends: Bead Records 50th Anniversary Celebration is in 2 weeks! I'll join Spaces Unfolding - Philipp Wachsmann, Neil Metcatlf, @EmilKarlsen @ @Cafeoto - with a trio of Phil Minton, Martin Hackett and Steve Beresford - and a solo by Hannah Marshall: a party not to miss!
Great review by Monolith Cocktail for Shadow Figures
"Shadow Figures pitches an environment and its sounds, its unseen wound-up, ratcheted and twisted objects with more skeletal, shaved, sieved and high-pitched avant-garde expressions."
Check out the album and come to our concert at @Cafeoto 14th December.

My album ‘Shadow Figures’ is now officially released into the wild! This project has been a long time coming and I’m so pleased with how it all turned out. Happy to have with me Neil Metcalfe (flute), Philipp Wachsmann (violin) and Pierre Alexandre Tremblay (electronics).
The album can be downloaded and streamed, or as CD for those interested in physical arteacts.

Many thanks to @tremblap for recording, @sharkestra for mix/master, @lovstadkristian for photography, and of course @PRSFoundation for their support in making all of this possible!
Thrilled to have received the CDs for 'Shadow Figures', the new release by my trio Spaces Unfolding + @tremblap. The CD comes with a booklet explaining how this project came together and how it extends from our debut album which came out on this day 2 years ago.
Physical copies have started shipping with downloads available on release date 15th November.
