about

The nineteenth track of the 'Black Lives Matter collaboration between Norwich-based trumpeter Chris Dowding and artist Laure Van Minden.

An atmospheric and disconcerting track portrays the final hours of Christian Taylor's life. A trumpet with sustain pedals moves slowly through Christian's name.

Laure's artwork (featured in the digital cover) reflects the stabbing rhythm of the percussive trumpet...

Laure:

"Concentrating on the hypnotic and repetitive rhythm 123 456 78 with oil stick held with both hands."

Chris:

"Quite a weird track, and I felt a bit weird after doing it, but I think it kind of reflects his experience."
