Dzama Stories
CD 2010
Ed Bennett, Decibel and Paul Dunmall
Dzama Stories is a collaboration between the Irish composer Ed Bennett and the legendary British saxophonist Paul Dunmall. With the Decibel ensemble the composition of Ed Bennett draws inspiration from the work of the Canadian artist Marcel Dzama. Through the combination of precomposed and freely improvised sounds, Bennett and Dunmall have created a work of enormous energy that ranges from the wild, rhythmic, noisy and chaotic to refined and reflective music.
Dzama Stories was released by Quartz record label.
