Mark Wingfield - Zoji (CD)

Facts When Mark Wingfield, Jane Chapman and Adriano Adewale came to breathe life into these ornate and dazzling compositions they collectively embarked on a process that would have them prospecting in the eddying silt of imagination and intuition. As each player exchanged ideas, modified aspects of the pieces, and brought their energy, momentum, and focus to the work, new and exciting music swirled into being. The result is a remarkable collection of music that sits beyond the usual stylistic considerations or generic boundaries, creating it's own parallel time existing alongside our own time but not fully part of it. A luminous presence with echoes in other times, other places, perhaps Jane Chapman sums it up best: "What I enjoy about Mark's compositions is that you are never sure exactly where he is taking you, and which new worlds they will reveal."
