Ensemble Sooon Album Launch

Sacred ibis &/or profane bin- chicken, its feathers & leather spread a kilometre like someone microwaved a bondage swan. (Frazer)

Celebrate Ensemble Sooon's third studio album, our most exciting yet, fusing the poetry of Brentley Frazer with musical composition by Martin Kay. Colourful, fun, exhilarating, a mite dark too. Dextrous ensemble playing, virtuosic improvisations and bent wordage. Fragments of Olivier Messiaen’s musical composition Quartet for the End of Time slew off as plinths for improvisation, spinning into new composition. Release on Made Now Music.
