His deep baritone is imbued with laconic humour, and \u003ci\u003eDeep Drive\u003c\/i\u003e's track titles riff off his messaging. \"Prepare For Docking\" refers to the Staten Island ferry and the spectacle of humdrum city movements, but also suggests the nautical deep or even extraterrestrial life, with otherworldliness woven deep into the sound. \"It's not a recital,\" says Zummo, of this way of working, \"it's a movie.\" \u003ci\u003eDeep Drive\u003c\/i\u003e, then, is an album about the totality of the artistic process, seen from a generous and honest vantage point.

The work is now being released as a new LP, \u003ci\u003eFrame Loop\u003c\/i\u003e. Recorded live and in single takes, it features a stellar line-up of longtime Zummo collaborators: Arthur russell on amplified cello, Bill Ruyle on marimba, and Mustafa Ahmed on congas. Zummo plays trombone and euphonium.Zummo describes the recording as ‘an exercise in spontaneous arrangement’. He mainly hews close to the score, while from time to time introducing canonic lines and variations. Arthur Russell, using his signature amplified cello sound, alternates between solos and rhythm playing. Ruyle vamps on the notation, while Ahmed’s improvised percussion drives the forward momentum. Sometimes the music takes its time traversing a sonic landscape; at other points, it jumps from one section to another. Players' decisions push and pull the downbeat; rounds emerge, then disappear. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foom","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50433967391051,"sku":"1027460","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/447683cb-59a2-42ed-a8fa-b6da3e96e718_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1726884590"},{"product_id":"dress-code-don-t-look-at-my-car","title":"Dress Code (Don't Look at my Car)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOptimo Music is delighted to present their 2nd \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Zummo\u003c\/strong\u003e release, this time featuring all new music.
