about
This piece began life with the main groove/rhythmic figure. I would improvise with it and record myself playing variations, taking the idea through several different keys and time signatures to see what would work best, and then used the best versions as the basis for the different sections of the music. I then subsequently composed the melodies and countermelodies over the top. For me, you can hear influences from Claudia Quintet, Polar Bear, Pierre de Bethmann and many contemporary jazz composers who are close to me; like Ivo and other Loop Collective friends, most clearly in this tune.

ILL CONSIDERED - LIVE AT THE CRYPT
by Ill Consideredsupported by 5 fans who also own “Agile”
Had everyone had warning of what to expect? "Opener" set the scene for those unsure newcomers. "Long Way Home" - an apt title: what a break. Idris wanders off leaving Leon, Emre and Satin to find the way... with a joyful reunion at the end. The journeys continue through the rest of the show - Leon constantly providing that anchor around which the wonder this world - and, of course, Other Worlds - fly at their own pace. You may know of Janek Gwizdala - if not Hidden Treasures gives hints.
