FLYING MACHINES play emotive and
dramatic music, drawing upon influences as diverse as jazz, pop, progressive
rock and metal to create an utterly unique and modern sound.
Formed by guitarist Alex
Munk in 2014, FLYING MACHINES features some of the most innovative young
musicians from the UK jazz scene; Matt Robinson on piano/ keyboards,
Rob Mullarkey on bass and Dave Hamblett on drums.
Centred on Alex’s unique
compositional approach, FLYING MACHINES fuse visceral improvisation with
anthemic melodies and lusciously textured soundscapes. It’s a sound shot
through with the here and now of London’s cutting-edge music scene, a decadent
mash up of free-wheeling solos, prog rock energy and ambient meditations that
never detracts from the emotive lyricism at the music’s core.
FLYING MACHINES have now released
their debut album to critical acclaim and will be embarking on a 24 date UK
tour throughout 2017, supported by Arts Council England. They will be
conducting an afternoon workshop before their performance at the Quarry
Theatre.
“Sweet, lyrical passages blend with impossible prog-like time
signatures to create a fresh, modern sound with its own distinctive
character” LONDONJAZZNEWS
