Szun Waves exist in that rarified space between virtuosic, jazz-trained musicianship and forward-thinking electronic exlorations. From Jack Wyllie adding shimmering, sustained sax notes to Luke Abbott’s gorgeous ambient pieces on an initial collaboration in 2013, Szun Waves emerged when Laurence Pike was added to the mix, energising the sound but still keeping its levitational qualities. Their 2016 self-released debut album At Sacred Walls hit a natural groove, and now they’re in a place of pure spontaneity: the trio’s second full length recording, New Hymn To Freedom is a document of six entirely live improvisations – “no edits or overdubs” – and its title couldn’t be more apt. Norfolk’s Luke Abbott is well known for his explorations of the zones between pure ambience and the leftmost fringes of club culture, having released music on Trevor Jackson’s Output label, James Holden’s Border Community and Gold Panda’s NOTOWN imprint. Not content with restricting himself to the standard album/tour cycle, he has created site-specific sound installations, and scored for film and television. His work on feature film The Goob was awarded the Best Soundtrack award at the Stockholm Film Festival in 2015. Multi instrumentalist Jack Wyllie is best known for his work with Portico Quartet, producing four studio albums, picking up a Mercury Prize nomination, touring the world and headlining shows at prestigious venues such as the Barbican and Roundhouse. Wyllie has collaborated with a diverse range of artists including Bonobo, Jamie Woon and Joe Newman of Alt-J. For the best part of two decades Laurence Pike has operated at the cutting edge of the electronic and jazz music worlds, releasing albums to critical acclaim and touring the world with his bands PVT (formerly Pivot) and Triosk, and featuring on numerous albums, tours and soundtracks as a collaborator. He released his debut solo album, Distant Early Warning in early 2018 – a technological and spiritual jazz suite for drums.
