Liam Byrne, Clare O’Connell and Tom Rogerson draw Renaissance polyphony into a restless exchange between viola da gamba, cello, clavichord and synthesis. A chance meeting in a Dalston basement club brought the three together. They began playing, followed their curiosity, and found themselves somewhere unexpected: free improvisation rooted in the imagined sensation of Renaissance ecstasy. Time spent with Agricola, Josquin and Ockeghem supplies the historical charge. Clavichord and synthesis thread through bowed strings, blurring where one instrument ends and another begins. Renaissance colours pull towards the future while electronic textures press backwards through time. Their self-titled album comprises ten live improvisations recorded at Snape Maltings. Produced by Tom Rogerson, mixed by Leo Abrahams and mastered by Sam Slater, it is released digitally and on vinyl by Mt. Brings Death on 26 November 2026.
