Species

David Moore is an academic and pianist from Kasnas who formally studied in New York at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. He wanted to take his music to a wider audience and so started his Bing & Ruth alias and started putting out minimalist ensemble sounds with a cinematic style and grace to spare. Species is the group’s fourth album and is an exploration of the Farfisa organ, with accompaniment by only a clarinet and double bass. Inspiration came from his recent obsessions, the desert and long distance running, and you can hear it in the movement and plaintive music that results. – Juno
