Nick Roth is a saxophonist, composer, educator and producer based in Dublin, Ireland. His work explores the liberation of improvisation from composition, the impact of natural form on technology and the contemporary interpretatio n of traditional music. A curious predisposition and a constant refusal to accept the existence of boundaries between the real and the imaginary has led to collaborations with many of the world's leading performers, composers, choreographers, visual artist s and ensembles. Similarly, a deep fascination with emergent pattern has led to on - going conversations with key scientific institutions in the interwoven fields of mathematical biology, forest canopy ecology and hydrology

BigSpoon's Chris Engel: Intention... And Spontaneity

Read "BigSpoon's Chris Engel: Intention...  And Spontaneity" reviewed by Ian Patterson


So much goes into a debut album—a lifetime of learning, experiences and myriad influences. The music that springs forth is also often shaped in subtle and unfathomable ways that are sometimes not entirely clear even to the composer. Some musical reference points may appear obvious, others much less so, and so it is with ...

Read "A Way A Lone A Last" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Solo flute albums rarely clog up the world's second-hand vinyl bins. More's the pity, for the flute's sounds are timeless.

Read "Mere Nation" reviewed by Ian Patterson


It may be disappointing to enigmatologists that there are no palindromes or obvious anagrams from ReDiviDeR on its third Diatribe Records release, following Never Odd Or Even (2011) and I Dig Monk, Tuned (2013). Musicophiles, however, should be delighted, for like its predecessors, Mere Nation is a colorful box of delights. Rambunctious, brooding and tender in ...
