Live Performance

Impromptu No. 1 (Apogee) (Live At Abbey Road)

Model Man

Ok check it. I thought it could be a good idea to put a band together to play live electronic music. Drums, samples, piano and even cello by the awesome Phillip Sheppard. I wanted to do something a bit different and special knowing that it was gonna be at abbey rd. Although very ambitious and tricky as hell to put together in lockdown (only one rehearsal) I think we got something in the end. I’m grateful to everyone that was involved in this. Hope you enjoy.
