about

The debut release by The Tree and the Bell - the duo collaboration of Norwich-based musicians Chris Dowding and Dave Pullin, this EP was recorded during lockdown.

The journey from the intense double bass improvisation at the beginning of 'Canon' to the open environment of 'Chorale' marks the progress from lockdown into a more normal situation that allowed recording together in person.

Individually, the two musicians have worked in a range of situations, including the chamber jazz of Red Shadow, the FX-laden quartet Rude 2.0 and much more. The Tree and the Bell began around 6 months before lockdown, with informal improvised sessions into which composed material gradually began to be incorporated.

As well as being an introduction to The Tree and the Bell duo, 'lockdown recordings' documents a change of plans, a slightly different approach to an emerging duo project and more...
