ABOUT THE ALBUM
On Easter Monday of 2019, friends and colleagues reunited at London’s iconic improvisational space Café Oto. The four, Ken Ikeda (Synthesizer), Massimo Magee (Electronics, Saxophone), Joshua Weitzel (Shamisen), Eddie Prévost (Percussion) had met and played together many times in the years prior—usually in the context of Eddie Prévost’s London Improvisation Workshop—but had never performed a public concert together. The group's avant-garde electro-acoustic approach extends aspects of their shared research as part of the London workshop but under the hot stage lights of a live concert setting, capturing the electricity of live improvisation. The extended two-track album, Easter Monday Music, will be available in both CD and digital editions on April 8, 2022.
