about

PhiLOLitOM is an improvising Trio.

Phil Donkin - Double Bass
Tom Challenger - Tenor Saxophone
Oliver Steidle - Drums

Recorded at Hochschule für Musik Nürnberg in April 2019.
Mixed and mastered by Alex Bonney 2019

Cover : Lena Ganssmann

'The group formed in July 2017 and perform original music composed by the British contingent of it's members. Challenger and Donkin are long-time associates from London, where Challenger still resides. Donkin and Steidle are Berlin based, and perform together in a variety of settings. With a compositional focus on intervalic, spacial rhythmic tertiary forms, the improvisations follow in both parallel unity and juxtaposed cognicance. The three musicians weave, glide and sometimes scrap with the thematic material causing an uncanny Smorgasbord of rhapsody and visceral discordancy.
Any accepted forms of what we know as improvised music are indeed challenged, questioned, swallowed, digested and redistributed here as this marvellous cauldron of coalescence.'
