Murmuration

Containing some of the most exciting, younger musicians in Copenhagen” (Salt Peanuts) ‘Murmuration’ moves as one uniform entity that subtly shifts form and shape in ebbs and flows.  Encompassing a unique blend of instrumentation ranging from ‘saxophones and trumpets’ to those more commonly found in chamber ensembles, such as low brass, strings and bassoon, Murmuration weaves between orchestrated hive-mind elements that take the listener through ambient fields and chaotic rumbles. 

The music is influenced by Calum’s vivid recurring dreams of living in Australia —  from a murmuration of birds moving like a ‘giant shadow floating in the wind’,  to visions of violent swirling water within a vast dark expanse of sea.
