You & Bloom
"Rhythm is a dancer, it's a soul's companion, you can feel it everywhere.
Lift your hands and voices, free your mind and join us, you can feel it in the air."
Tribal/percussive dual drum attack with ambient/soundscape laptop accompaniment. A bit like being kidnapped whilst on African safari, and then being rescued by Enya.
'You & Bloom' is David Morrison and Martin Chatterton. Both drummers sharing a passion for improvised electronic composition, in December 2006 they decided to start a project that combined the two. After a series of improvisations, sections of audio are pieced together forming a continual evolving soundscape, upon which dual drums are written.
