about

"Containing some of the most exciting, younger musicians in Copenhagen” (Salt Peanuts Jazz Magazine) Murmuration weaves between hive-mind elements that take the listener through ambient fields and chaotic rumbles.

Encompassing a unique blend of instrumentation that ranges from saxophones and trumpets to those more commonly found in chamber ensembles — low brass, strings and bassoon, Murmuration moves as one uniform entity that subtly shifts form in ebbs and flows.

The album is influenced by Calum's vivid recurring dreams of living in Australia — from a murmuration of birds moving like a ‘giant shadow floating in the wind’, to visions of violent swirling water within a vast dark expanse of sea.
