We make music in the moment. Intuitive. Inspired. Connected.
Music is to be played and heard, not written and read.
Music speaks a different language to the noise and bickering that keeps our minds agitated. We hope this music brings you back from the world’s chatter to reclaim your unique place in the Universe.
Out On A Limb – The Spirit of the Moment
Shadja, keys
Laurie, saxes
The first Out On A Limb album, The Spirit of the Moment, features Shadja and saxophonist Laurie Rugless, a pioneer of electronics for the saxophone. It’s a collection of intuitive improvisations. We set up some sounds and just played.
“The Lake” was featured on BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction. Some of the music was also chosen by the film maker Phil Becque to form part of the soundtrack to his award-winning documentary Between Creation And Destruction.
“T’ai Chi Flows” was improvised while watching the T’ai Chi form of our friend Lin Williams. T’ai Chi teacher Mark Preston, of the T’ai Chi Foundation, has used it to demonstrate the Yang style short form (37 postures), as modified by Grand Master Cheng Man Ching.
“Inner Light” and “Heart Chakra” were both improvised while listening to meditations led by our friend Roger Bradley.
The Spirit of the Moment is available on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and most other platforms. You can download it – and contribute to the creation of more music – on our Bandcamp page.
