   About Blink
 

Formed in 2004 out of a collaboration between pianist Alcyona and French saxophonist/clarinettist Robin Fincker, Blink has been playing since 2006 with drummer/percussionist Paul Clarvis.

A member of London’s Loop Collective, the trio plays mostly original material by Alcyona and Robin. They recorded their debut album in the prestigious Abbey Rd studios, available now on Loop records. Interested in all kinds of new encounters Blink have performed with French saxophonists Guillaume Orti and Stephane Payen, poet Paul Hyland and string quartet Solid Strings and for a Len Lye silent film.

'a minor masterpiece of complex collective musical thinking' Metro 2008

'Aerated, intrepid, the group reaches rarified heights of understanding and expression' MOJO 2008

‘Blink enjoys a nimble agility that seems intent on taking everyone by surprise…somehow discovering accidental perfection in the face of infinite possibility’ Dan Spicer, Jazzwise 2007

Hi ('x')/ -CONNICHIWA (こんにちは)-


Please let me introduce about my new track, “The Amata (Visions in the Sky)”. Amata means “Many” in Japanese, and “Eternity” in Thai language.





・・・・・・・・・・

・This track freely changes the tempo, like BPM 170 → 40 → 190 → (stacks 2 or 4) → 170 → 40.


・The main melody(4/4 rythum) is like classic music's one, but the low part(3/4 rythum) is like jazz-pop's one.


・In the latter half, this track becomes spacy, like 80's progressive hard rock・・・but I only used a piano sound. It will show you what are "visions". Raindrops, comets, clouds・・・Every image will be right.


・・・・・・・・・



Please give me your Impressions!




See ya ('u')/ -MATA-NE (またね)-
