A Short Ride on the Arrow of Time was released on Electric Brass Records in 21st Oct 2015. The album captures Andy and Richard at what they do best – improvising live in the studio with no script and no plan.
It is presented as four distinct periods of time of about 20 minutes in length – which are called Continuums. A journey through constantly evolving textures and instant song creation.
The trumpet creates live loops that capture breathy noises, snatches of melody and warped riffs through harmonisers and effects.
The Drums explore rhythms and textures, responding to, and driving the loops forward as they are filtered and mutated. Experience a unique ongoing musical conversation – A short ride on the arrow of time.
As the album is very much a live in the studio one, we haven’t made videos for the tracks as such but they have featured live in our set and there are live videos below.
