Andrew Plummer's Limited Noise label next month are to release the latest instalment of drummer composer Will Glaser’s Climbing In Circles with Climbing in Circles pt. 4 following on from last year's third instalment released on the Ubuntu label. Matthew Herd, on saxophones and piano and trumpeter/electronic artist Alex Bonney join Glaser on the recording made over 5 days in Wales. Glaser says: “During the Covid pandemic I began to investigate recording, electronics, exploring synthesisers and processing the drums. These sound worlds and new ways of working began to influence my thoughts on improvisation and the aesthetic of the music I could make that way. I wanted to create more expressive and immersive soundworlds with – and for – the improvising. This led me to become fascinated with the compositional possibilities of improvisation within a studio context. In order to keep improvisation at the heart of the record, we went into the studio with no prepared material and extended the use of improvisation out into the whole of the recording process.''
