About The Number

The Making of Quiet Things by Gary Curson and The Number, a Slam Productions release is the product of a collaboration between Gary Curson and producer Justin Paterson, senior lecturer at the London College of Music. The album was recorded on 19 July 2006 at Vestry Hall Studios at the London College of Music. Paterson asked the musicians to perform free improv whilst separated, unable to communicate directly with each other, without rehearsing, in one take. This environment was extremely challenging for the musicians. Paterson's goal was the complete separation of sound for each instrument for a second spinoff album using the tracks from this recording session to produce a new, synthesised improvisational work. Paterson hopes to complete the second version within the next year or two.
