'The Beholder’s Share’ features Alex Bonney on trumpet and electronics with long-term collaborators Paul Dunmall on saxes and Mark Sanders on drums. This is the first release on Bead Records to feature Dunmall and the trio’s inaugural recorded venture. A whirlwind of sonic exploration and improvised interaction from an electro-acoustic trio featuring three leading UK improvisers.
"This album should be put into many hands, because it will meet the expectations of audiences fond of experimental electronics, sensitive to cutting-edge jazz or looking for mixtures of genres off the beaten track." - Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg
"These creative musicians balance an urgent need for sonic exploration with close and democratic interaction and an organic flow of stormy music." - Eyal Hareuveni (Salt Peanuts)
