ACT BILL LAURANCE - LUMEN LP

It’s not often you find yourself recording alone in a church at 3am. I’m not religious, but I experienced something unique while playing through the night as the streets around me slept. It felt like the music was telling me what to play and I was the passenger. Lumen grew out of a variety of compositional seeds – from through-com posed songs that remain true to the score, leaving little room for freedom, to wide-open improvisations recorded in the moment with nothing prede termined. It’s in the space between composition and improvisation where the magic happens – and where, if the musicians are willing, the music can lead. (Bill Laurance)
