about

This is a wonderful example of when all the right ingredients come together. One afternoon a few years ago in the main recording studio at Kidderminster College, the stars must have been in alignment, Steve had his full bass rig, I had been experimenting with playing guitar through different crazy plugin chains on my laptop in preparation for an upcoming Ley Lines gig, and we simply just decided to play. There was no intention of making an album, but I decided to record the results in case there were any sounds that I made that I could later incorporate into my live sound for Ley Lines - the improvising power trio that also includes Andy Edwards on drums. I remember having fun, and some remarkable moments and then forgot about it all. At that time, I was so very immersed in preparing the final mixes for my 2018 double album release ‘Reality Is My Play Thing’ that these recordings just faded into a distant memory…

Then last summer I had a sudden spark of curiosity - weren’t there some recordings of an improvised set of music with me and Steve somewhere? Well this is what I found, and this re-discovery is a sheer and unexpected delight. It’s a fantastic snapshot of a deep and inventive musical conversation between the two of us, moving through a multitude of different sonic territories, and edging each other into playing in ways we wouldn’t normally do. Not only that, but there’s some highly memorable music on here that we conjured out of thin air - lovely melodies and atmospheres that have since been swirling around my head over the last few months - deep roots forming a dazzling array of fuzzy musical shoots. So join the slappy happy jazzy wizards in the spooky treehouse as we follow the larks on a journey through the Sun!

For me more Steve and Phi improvising fun there's also the mini-album that we recorded at the end of the 2nd Ley Lines album session, which you can check out right here:

What The Mind Thinks, The Heart Transmits
by Steve Lawson

My first foray into the huge catalogue of Steve Lawson. I floated through this long-form piece, carried through the beautiful layers of loops, warm chords, washes and melodic fragments. The meditative energy rose every now and again with gorgeous sounds popping between my headphones. As instructed, headphones and a dark room - or eye mask - works superbly. I’ll be turning to this track many more times for ultra focus and relaxation. Thank you Steve. Tamsin Mendelsohn
