Rills & Courses by Challenger / Tremblay

For years, Tom Challenger and P.A. Tremblay have been crossing paths within the Loop Collective, always with the promise of a potential musical meeting, and a session where they could spar.

That encounter happened on a typical winters day in offices and a studio in Huddersfield. Recording their first meeting, they set up facing each other.

Mesmerizing musical dialogues, a first collaboration where both improvisers negotiate common grounds and opposite views seamlessly for the adventurous listener’s delight!

Loop is a collective of musicians that was founded in 2005 in London. Its members are in demand at the forefront of the contemporary jazz and improvised music scene in the UK and Europe. Amidst challenging circumstances for contemporary music making, they have created a network of shared resources to promote their original music.
