Concert - Drumplay
Drumplay’s sound is a wide open one, combining various percussive elements with strings and horns. Exploring Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and Middle Eastern styles in timbre and texture, their approach is purely rhythmic but gives way to a jazz bent and space between notes. “Rhythmprovisation” is how founding member James Onysko explains their modus operandi, that is, “the goal of there being no two performances alike.”
