Last year, Immix Emsemble, led by Australian-born, Liverpool based composer and sax player Daniel Thorne, and Bristolian electronic composer Sebastian Gainsborough aka Vessel teamed up to create a series of recordings exploring the theme of technology and its connection to musical instruments. That collaboration continues to bear fruits and they have announced the release of Transition, a four-track EP due out on March 18th via Erased Tapes.

“Musical instruments are a somewhat technological anomaly in that they are rarely updated after their conception, often only receiving minor tweaks over the course of hundreds of years”, explained Immix and Vessel. “As such, each instrument provides us with a snapshot of the cutting edge technologies of a particular time and place – in this sense, the instrumentation used by Immix provides us with snapshots of technologies that can be traced back as far as 1500BC.”.

The sublime ‘What Hath God Wrought?’ is being offered as the album’s first taste. Take a listen now.
