David Rees: Bass, Dominic Marshall: Piano, Sam Gardener: Drums
Innovative, progressive, improvised music can only but define LCM student Dave Rees’s technique and approach as a jazz bass player and composer. Incorporating unusual yet effective experimental sounds, resembling a beautiful love affair between Progressive Jazz and Dub-Step, Rees explores his distinctive musical palette, demonstrating a rather unique vision of artistic creativity.
After the success of their debut at the launch of ‘The Northern Bloc Collective’, Tyratarantis perform at Leeds College Of Music’s lunchtime concert with an array of traditional and contemporary styles.
Reese’s wa-wa pedal provided an authentic groovy texture to ‘4am Naked Dub-step tea-party‘, sitting comfortably alongside Gardeners powerful yet steady rhythmic beats whilst Reese’s impact to each piece amplified the dynamic flavour provided primarily by pianist Dominic Marshall.
Exploring rigorous, melodic motifs, Marshall created an eclectic mix of gothic elements entwined with sophisticated elegance, challenging offbeat rhythms between sections, before finally dying down to an impressive, contrasting accompaniment.
Gardener’s atmospheric significance remained sustained throughout 5/4 feel ’Balud’, with a less abrasive sound using brush sticks, greatly contemplating the varied use of dynamics worked at a constantly steady tempo. Marshall, provided with plenty of
harmonic freedom to work his magic, brought the piece to a reflective and uplifting finish with high emotional impact.
Despite the significant amount of popular music students attending the trio’s performance, notably with opposing musical tastes, one inspired student referred to Marshall in particular as ’Amazing, simply amazing’.
