PANDO PANDO - @albonney @will_glaser_drums @jemdoulton
 
Pando Pando, the eponymous debut album from Pando Pando, launches on April 12th, 2024 on Not Applicable.  The trio formed in 2021, connecting through the diverse musical scene of north London’s warehouse district and arts space New River Studios.
 
Pando, meaning 'I Spread', is one of the world's largest single living organisms - an ancient quaking Aspen colony in Utah. What appears on the surface as a forest of separate trees is actually one large interconnected body, growing and spreading through a process of cloning. This process of reproduction lies at the heart of Pando Pando's music. Through improvisation and an ever changing array of live electronic processing and synthesis, acoustic drums and percussion are cloned, twisted and reshaped into evolving ecosystems of sound.
 

Pando Pando are Alex Bonney (electronics), Jem Doulton (drums and percussion) and Will Glaser (drums and percussion).

Joseph Leighton - @josephleighton [EMERGENCE]

Guitarist Joseph Leighton has been hailed as one of Ireland’s brightest new jazz talents. Starting out as a teenage rock prodigy in his hometown of Derry, he became interested in jazz and began to focus a lot of his playing and studies on that. Over the next few years his teachers would also include guitar icons Jesse van Ruller, Mike Walker and Peter Bernstein, following awards from Moving On Music, PRSF and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland. He also visited Canada to attend the Banff Centre’s Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music under the direction of Vijay Iyer in 2016. Joseph has toured as a sideman to many exciting countries in the world including Vietnam, Singapore, Lebanon and Jamaica (where half of his ancestry belongs to).
