Embark on a journey of rhythm, vibrations, and dance by Will Magid - musician, composer, producer, and trumpet player known for his project Balkan Bump, and work in various genres of music, including jazz, electronic, and world music.
Will invites you to explore the marriage of movement, improvisation, and sound. Through the interplay of looped Trumpet, Kalimba, and percussion, each session unfurls as an authentic, improvised adventure, drawing from a rich blend of jazz, ambient, Eastern European, West African, and western classical influences.
As you move, Will Magid's musical background and passion will unfold in real time, creating an improvised live score that resonates with the dance happening in the room.
