Rebecca Nash presents ‘Redefining Element 78’ – feat Nick Malcolm on trumpet.

Her music blends bold melodies with electronic elements and grooves, placing them within ethereal harmonic soundscapes. The suite, a collection of eight pieces, is curiously centred around precious metals;: Platinum, Osmium, Rhodium, Iridium, Ruthenium, and Palladium. The music’s excitement comes from a creative tension between detailed through-composed sections and large swathes of free improvisation.
