Information about the new "Miles Perkin Quartet" coming soon....
Influences
In general too many to mention, but at the moment the music of Morton Feldman, the thoughts of Glenn Gould & the grounded confidence of Sam Cooke are leaving their mark on me.
Miles Perkin (b.1980) is a Canadian musician from Brandon, Manitoba. A bassist, composer, improvisor and interpreter with a strong focus on using improvisation as a tool which maintains, respects and enhances compositional structures. He uses a unique combination of conventional, extended and invented techniques along with unconventional tools to coax a vast palate of sounds from his double bass.
"Bassist Miles Perkin knows how to use his strings to create an exciting sound in the furthest outreaches of his instrument" - Merijn Schipper, sapsite.nl
