Elf Traps x Hallé

The Jazz-electronic band team up with the Hallé orchestra to reimagine two tracks from their debut album. Harp-E and Mika Mika Mika. In the film, drummer Rob Turner and keyboardist Liviu Gheorghe, reflect on navigating the space between classical precision and jazz freedom. “Improvised and classical music can be chalk and cheese, but it is also a good exercise to try and find the middle ground.” Recently retired bass clarinetist Jim Muirhead added: “When you work with a great drummer like Rob and all the intricate cross rhythms he can generate, it is very exciting.” As part of series of films, produced by Low Four Studio and the Hallé, supported by the PRS Foundation, Elf Traps weres one of four new Manchester (UK) artists given the opportunity to write, arrange, perform and record with the world famous orchestra.
