Ilario’s new album is released today. He came over yesterday and played a few bars of ‘Beyond the Horizon’ to test out my new piano mics. It sounded amazing. You can find the album here https://linktr.ee/elsdenmusic
Excited to announce the latest release from Elsden Music - an exception album of music from Julian Costello.
Or as my PR person might say:-
Elsden Music once again presents some of the most exciting new music to be heard in Julian Costello & Vertigo’s magnificent album.
Not just a new album for the saxophonist and composer but here he debuts a new band with a set of compositions that combine contemporary jazz and world music in an intoxicating blend.
With Vertigo, Costello brings together some of the leading musicians from the UK and beyond, and in doing so creates an ensemble with a unique sound. The line up features drummer Sophie Alloway and Natalie Rozario on cello alongside the guitar and oud of Stefano Tsourelis, with special guests Iqbal Pathan on tabla and David Beebee on double bass.
You can listen to the intoxicating music here: https://juliancostello.bandcamp.com/album/julian-costellos-vertigo

Day 2 recording with the fantastic Basia Bartz
Today’s mixing project? Getting this fantastic groove with cajon and kick drum from John Crawford’s album to sit nicely together. The fantastic Fab Filter Q3 is a great help!
Both @thecrushingdays and I have seen these #goslings swim past the #recordingstudio window (love having a window!). @julietwood220 walked past them on the other bank of the canal yesterday.
Thanks so much to Nick Lea for the lovely review of the debut album from Ikumi Koyama, with Alban Claret, Tom Mason and Kuba Miazga.
Very proud to have recorded, mixed and produced this album.
The third released from Elsden Music - and we have more great music on the way!
Alban Claret listening back to the raw recordings from yesterdays recording session with Nigel Price, Matt Fishwick and Mikele Montolli.
It’s going to be a great album!
Found that #cassettedeck! Still seems to work! Now to transfer to digital…

First time using the cool #bluetooth adapter for @austrian_audio‘s amazing #oc818.
On #acousticguitar this morning just adjusted the pattern until the #proximity-effect felt just right!
