about

This album has been funded by Manchester Jazz Festival, under the guidance of the contemporary jazz saxophonist Lara Jones.

In Noise:Bath the listener will be absorbed by waves of sound, in a hypnotic swirl of post-minimalist states, as two different blankets of sound will react and communicate with each other. It’s aim is to amalgamate sounds natural and unnatural into a three dimensional soundscape of textures. It is electroacoustic music, involving improvisation with electronics and instruments. By combining these two techniques of sound creation through improvisation, this piece aims to decontextualise the way audiences hear and discern electronically created noises from acoustically created noises.

"This is an incredibly rich and nuanced offering of music, and I'm excited to see where they go next" - Corey Mwamba, 'Freeness' BBC Radio 3

“This work is quietly fearless in its approach to fusing acoustic and electronic source material with improvised layers of sound. The resulting music has a mesmerising confidence and a reassuring awareness of space, texture and time, and I look forward to seeing Floorkin and their work grow into an influential voice on the new contemporary music scene.”
Steve Mead, Artistic Director, Manchester Jazz Festival

"Floorkin create serene captivating soundscapes, they find a perfect balance between meditative music and music that demands attentiveness to the complexity of sounds. They find a sensitivity in their combination between the acoustic and electronic. Each sound has a depth to it, a clear intention. This is music for all listeners.”
Lara Jones, J Frisco
