Improvised music making of the highest order with a strong sense of spontaneously created form and structure, performed by two major voices on the UK and European scene - pianist Steve Tromans and drummer Mark Sanders.

Two mountains, three meditations, and three murmurations, interwoven in dynamic duo performance, presented in order of emergence at the time of the music's making. Tromans and Sanders have worked together on a number of projects in the last decade, including Tromans' Birmingham-Chicago Improvisers' Ensemble (as featured on BBC Radio 3) and Sid Peacock's acclaimed Surge Orchestra, but this is the first time they have recorded together in a duo setting. The session was suggested by Sanders in early 2022 and realised later that year at Birmingham's Sansom Studios.

The emergent structure of the pieces suggested the titles and themes of the release. Three contrasting approaches to structuring music meet in the 8 tracks of an album. The mountains are stoic, grounded in the earthly elements of their own becoming; the meditations are ephemeral as midnight moonlight on rippling water reflected in the eye of another; the murmurations, fleet and mercurial, spelling mutating shapes in a vast blue sky of musical imagination of piano and percussion.

Mark Sanders: drums and percussion
