Tether

Tether channels influences from various strains of contemporary music. Combining bandleader Hayden Prosser’s dense compositional style with various forms of group improvisation, they discover new textures and colours that blend both acoustic and electronic instrumentation. 

Following from his debut release Tether on Whirlwind Recordings in May 2017 (featuring Elias Stemeseder, Philipp Gropper, Max Santner) bassist and composer Hayden Prosser continues his exploration into contemporary music styles. Together with his quartet, featuring new members Brad Henkel and Mark Pringle, they push forward an inquisitive stance on process music, electronica and contemporary classical music, searching for its connection to improvisation and jazz. With their talents as experienced improvisers, the quartet subtly weaves improvisation and composition into patterns of new and explorative colours.
