BIMHUIS Records presents BIM 015: Alistair Payne ft. Tongo Eisen-Martin - Live at BIMHUIS

REFLEX is a series of BIMHUIS Productions in which we have invited artists to reflect on the current zeitgeist in new work. We present the live recordings on BIMHUIS Records.

Alistair Payne is a prominent name amongst the new wave of Dutch Jazz. The Scottish-born musician is known for his distinct trumpet tone, out-of-the box creativity and diversity of projects. This repertoire is written in collaboration with critically acclaimed poet, Tongo Eisen-Martin. Alistair has used Tongo’s text, distinct spoken rhythm, and performance energy as starting points to compose. Payne draws insipiration from morphing tonality echoing Arvö Part, pulses and grooves that you’d expect in the universe of Madlib, and experiments in atonality and silence.
