Carolyn Hume: piano and keyboard
Paul May: drums
Andy Williamson: saxophones
with Angus Balbernie in The Serpent
'The music of Hume & May is many things at once, in stark melancholy or joyous meter, a telepathic precision, as composition or improvisation, it is alive to every emotion.
Expansive, ethereal, original, erotic and unnerving.
In concert they will present as a trio with the great saxophonist Andy Williamson, and in a mixed media, multi-disciplinary piece 'The Serpent' with performer/choreographer and film-maker Angus Balbernie.
?The evening promises much to an audience seeking a unique and immersive evening in a parallel present.?
Paul May and Carolyn Hume have been playing and recording together for over 20 years. They have released 7 critically acclaimed albums on Leo Records as a duo. Hume and May create potent ambient atmospheres moving from minimalist sci-fi to rhythmic landscapes reaching for the unspoken depths.
Elements of jazz, free improvisation and neo-classical. Hume & May travel along the heart's haunted lanes to that place where they can dance in the darkness of a light unseen. A journey into sonic intimacy.
Paul May is one of the most respected drummers on the improvising circuit. His CV includes work with the likes of Alexander Hawkins, Petra Jean Phillipson, Tim Hodgkinson, Klaus Filip and Matthias Eick, as well as electro-acoustic improvisers Sonnamble and the improv trios Elvers (with trumpeter Ian R Watson) and Found Drowned (with guitarist James O'Sullivan).
