Tom Arthurs and Björn Meyer
Six (Bandcamp, Digital, 2023)
While electric bass and trumpet might not appear the most obvious combination, Björn Meyer and Tom Arthurs fuse the seemingly impossible into a beautiful and fleeting improvised duo – drawing from folk musics, baroque music, improvised music and jazz to defy genres and create a music as unique as they are, and as the moment in which it is created.
Created spontaneously in the moment with the deepest of respect, the loftiest disregard, and always with a smile, this recording represents a high point of their regular meetings, now released to the public for the first time.
Digital release only.

Tom Arthurs / Isambard Khroustaliov / Julian Sartorius
Hangkerum (Clean Feed, CD, 2019)
The press release reads: "The best music is always the one created by singular musicians, as we learned from the history of jazz. Tom Arthurs, Isambard Khroustaliov (the alias of Sam Britton) and Julian Sartorius are three of them in present times, and from them we can only expect… the unexpected. [...] Everything in “Hangkerum” happens in the domains of subtlety, nuance and detail, and sometimes it’s difficult to understand who does what in the mix of timbres and textures or where compositon stops and improvisation starts. All the materials are melted, even considering the foreign origins of all the musical references. The muted trumpet sound is somewhat familiar to the Miles Davis one, but Arthurs couldn’t be more distant from the Dark Prince. [...] The result of the combination of these three inquisitive minds is astonishing."
