FR#303 Cracked Glaze by Matt Wright / Sam Bailey’s Unruly Trio

Composer, producer and sound designer Matthew Wright introduces his new project Cracked Glaze, including a Q&A with the composer and an immersive playback of the 46-minute album, released in May on CD/digital by False Walls (Faversham). Cracked Glaze was performed by vocalist Sofia Jernberg, Ensemble Klang (Netherlands) and Wright’s improv/electronic group Spheric Totemic. The piece is built around a ‘spine’ of one long, descending scale, which is combined with other notation and improvisation.

‘this whole recording is rare and wonderful … the joy of hearing great improvisors at the top of their game, a murderers’ row new music ensemble, and a near flawless recorded document’ (Nate Wooley)

Sam Bailey’s Unruly Trio is a new project featuring bassist David Leahy and clarinetist Tom Jackson. Using earlier styles of jazz as starting points, they find ways of tearing the music apart before patching it back up again.
