New Release: Another Noise – Raymond Antrobus & Evelyn Glennie

Raymond Antrobus & Evelyn Glennie: Another Noise

“Collaborations often start from a seed of curiosity. They are a great opportunity to explore no-mans territory and journey into something that is surprising and fruitful. Part of this journey is to keep an open mind, let things happen naturally and know that no matter what the outcome, the opportunity has been explored.

On one chilly but bright winter’s day earlier this year, Raymond and I met for the first time. Time was left at the door, as Ian Brennan, the music producer (who incidentally I was also meeting for the first time) allowed our flowing minds to dance together for the day whereby the outcome was our new release, Another Noise – an improvised first-take live recorded spoken word poetry album. I can only hope there will be other opportunities.”
