Kim Macari presents new music exploring themes of movement from train journeys to the ways creative processes change us.

Belgian harpist Ann Eysermans has been fascinated with trains since her childhood, after riding from Antwerp to Ostend at the helm of a train. On her debut album, trains and the acoustic world of railways are transformed into musical instruments. Announcements on tannoys, billows of smoke and the gentle lurch of carriages departing from and arriving at stations - all these weld with the harp and synths to create an immersive locomotive sound journey. The Barcelona based pianist and composer Clara Lai offers a soundscape of quicksand-like rapid movement, rumbling horns and snapping percussion - a bustling meditation on the alchemic power of creative processes and the ebb and flow of life.

Plus, Leeds-based duo Teruki Chan (drums) and Theo Hayes (piano) fuse freewheeling improvisation with pre-written motifs to create animated sketches filled with dynamism and shifting tones.
