Third release from a British duo calling this project ”According To The Sound” inviting lots of guest musicians from UK and USA. Melodic jazz fusion.

According To The Sound is a British duo with lots of guest musicians with their 3rd release on Losen Records.
Patrick Case and Adam Parry-Davies with a philosophy over their music for Pitch:
Can music tell a story through a series of pitches? For example in Farewell where a boy or a girl is saying goodbye to the one they love at a train station but they haven”t told them and that”s why they”re leaving. And the feelings and the words in their head build and build and at last they can”t hold it back and the train starts to move and they run alongside pouring out everything that they”ve almost mean to say but the other person can”t hear as the window is closed and they”re left alone on an empty platform. Or in Across the Water where the view is at the level of the water across a lake and a bird looks silently down from a branch of a tree and the wind blows and a series of ripples skate across the water. And just for a minute the sun peeks through a cloud and everything is illuminated in brilliant colour. Or in Fever Dream where a child is in bed with a high fever perhaps due to an ear infection and they”re in a state of semiconsciousness and shapes appear in the shadows on the wall and the patterns in the curtains become animals as the moon peers through. Or in Reistrophe where we might be back in the city at the time that Charlie Christian was playing there, someone widely recognised as one of the pioneers of Jazz and yet who was buried in an unmarked grave.
