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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteve Tromans: piano\u003cbr\u003eMark Sanders: drums and percussion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst Murmuration\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst Meditation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecond Murmuration\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecond Meditation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGolden Mountain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird Murmuration\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilver Mountain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird Meditation\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54422443131265,"sku":"1866024","price":15.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5051078005621.jpg?v=1750681271","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1866024","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
