Alfa is yet to be boxed into a specific genre as his music spans everything from hip-hop beat-making to producing for artists such as rapper Loyle Carner, composing neo-classical works for the London Contemporary Orchestra, and reworking tracks from composer Ólafur Arnalds and pioneering jazz label Blue Note, not to mention his collaborations with the likes of Jordan Rakei, Tom Misch and drummer Richard Spaven, producer Lester Duval and singer Emmavie. \u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbig\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbig\u003eNow unveiling his next offering, Alfa revisits his stellar 2024 performance with Manchester's extraordinary string outfit Amika Quartet at heralded venue Kings Place (London), capturing the magic of the evening within this awe-inspiring live album. Featuring a handful of brand new, never-before-heard tracks (alongside a number of expansions of previous releases), 'Recurring' sees Alfa drawing inspiration from classic live Jazz recordings, capturing a unique moment in time that can never be replicated or replayed. Creating an authentic, unpolished and electric feel, feeding his long-running mission of real-time musical expressions that evolve with each performance. On the genesis of the record, Alfa says: 'Some of my favourite albums are captured live performances. I came home from a long year of touring and decided to work on some music for Amika Quartet who I've been working with for years on a few different shows and projects. A lot of the music I release is recorded in whole takes, I think there's something nice about doing the best you can with the moments you have. I wanted to take that one step further by recording it as a live show and seeing what happens.'' \u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbig\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cbig\u003eDue for release via Alfa's own Sekito Records imprint, a potent, raw and spontaneous energy permeates the release. Marking his first project with a full string arrangement, the iconic Kings Place venue's reputation for spectacular acoustics, as well as intimate setting made an ideal location for the live recording. The decision to record in a live venue rather than a studio was driven by Alfa's desire to push beyond his comfort zone and explore new creative territories. On first single 'Checkpoint', Alfa also takes to the microphone, breaking away from his usual introspective lyrical style to make comments on the current state of the world. He explains: \" 'I've written lyrics before but this is the first time I've ever tried to write a poem and it ended up being about the double standards of violence we see in this world everyday\". This offering is a testament to Alfa's continuous evolution as an artist, blending his introspective lyric with broader societal observations, all while maintaining the improvisational spirit of jazz.\u003c\/big\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e                                                                                               \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63438480671089,"sku":"CM5056321656650","price":13.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/6477\/9889\/files\/42f6fad3-2a78-49bb-b22c-f913b304ddca.jpg?v=1776039105","url":"https:\/\/musichouse88.com\/products\/alfa-mist-amika-quartet-recurring-live-at-kings-place-vinyl-lp","provider":"Music House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
