We were fortunate to feature Rebecca and Nick in one of our most memorable livestreams from a Birmingham studio during lockdown, so we are particularly delighted to now present them ‘in-person’!
The pair have worked closely together for a number of years, regularly appearing on each other’s albums and in different live configurations. They always had a plan to combine musical forces, having individually notched up several acclaimed releases on major labels including Whirlwind Recordings, 22a Records, EFPI Records and D.O.T. over the last twelve years.
This new venture, firmly rooted in their mutual appreciation of electronica and jazz, began when they were asked by Jazz South in 2020 to produce a Radar Commission. Echoes of influences such as bands like Royksopp, Aphex Twin, and Lemon Jelly can be heard in the mix of their sound, along with live improvisation.
The duo chose to explore the concept of ley-lines and their effect on the natural world, incorporating musical samples taken from Avebury Stone Henge and its surrounding areas. Rebecca and Nick have since steadily continued to compose in the same trajectory, writing material to incorporate live electronics and samples on stage, alongside acoustic instruments. Their debut album The Sanctuary will be released on D.O.T. Records in 2024.
Rebecca and Nick will be joined for this Sarsen Drift performance by Nim Sadot on bass guitar and Andrew Lisle on drums.
