@janesalmon @Linham_Ryan @britishtrombone @LauraJurd @action_slide @rorycartmell Hey Jane, we would love to be part of conversation! Name a time, I’ll be there. It would be lovely to discuss all this amazing new music with everyone here. The last I saw you @LauraJurd we were playing reggae/free jams in Brixton. Seems a lifetime ago!

Here’s the non-tampered with, featuring heroic brass playing from some of London’s finest inc @tuba_chris

[Rory Simmons @rory_simmons]

Dear pal @tuba_chris asked me to write something for his brass ensemble and then allowed to tamper with the stems of the recording.... I’m delighted with the results, it’s out now on tinterweb “Cillindrome”
