1LP Vinyl – 22a-023

Paradox Ensemble was formed in 2013 by trumpeter Nick Walters bringing together some of his closest musical collaborators from various projects he was involved in. After a debut release entitled 'Entanglement' on Efpi Records and several gigs around the country, the project has lied dormant for a few years, before returning in 2018 with the album 'Awakening', set to be released on 22a in January 2019. The large ensemble seeks to juxtapose composed ensemble passages with extended improvised sections, allowing all band members space and freedom to explore within the composed structure. Diverse musical influences from all over the world are heard, along with the incorporation of electronic sounds and live effects on the acoustic instruments. Above all the music is underpinned by a solid groove – this is music to move to as well as to listen to.
