Overview

Decoding the composition
Back to Music Search

The music on Diálogos is a conversation between the precise complexities and dynamics of compositions by John Psathas and the intuitive processes of collective improvisation.With influences as diverse as new classical, contemporary jazz, world, and drum’n’bass, Diálogos pushes the boundaries of generic idioms. The music has a wide dynamic and emotional range, rich in colour and texture.“Diálogos is a revelation. I don’t know what the language is that properly describes what the guys are doing, but they’re somehow creating new works. This isn’t ‘arranging’ or ‘adapting’, I feel it’s better described as continuing the composing process.” — John Psathas Chris Mason-Battley (sax)Sam Giles (bass) David Lines (piano) Stephen Thomas (drums) Produced by CMB Group and Steve Garden Recorded by Steve Garden Cover photography by Eudald Rota Design by UnkleFranc Printing by Studio Q
