Tara Cunningham And Samuel Hollis - Ep Launch

Tara Cunningham And Samuel Hollis - Ep Launch
London-based musicians Tara Cunningham (acoustic guitar) and Samuel Hollis (upright bass) return with their latest EP, ‘Music For Moving Pictures II’. This second instalment continues an evocative collection of iconic film themes, re-interpreted through an improviser's lens. Paired back to its essence, each track explores space and the simplicity of song steeped in 20th century Americana. The acoustic format allows this duo to breathe new life into familiar melodies. These four free-flowing instrumentals offer a fresh, intimate take on cinematic soundscapes. ‘Music For Moving Pictures II’ showcases the pair's ability to synthesise vast stylistic influences into a simple story. From the tender romance of Can’t Help Falling In Love to the haunting elegance of Waltz in C Minor, Samuel and Tara artfully distill the emotional core of filmic writing. The depth and versatility of their improvisational stylings show them to balance nostalgia with innovation, transforming familiar melodies into an immersive, evolving body of work. After being picked up by Soweto Kinch for BBC Radio 3’s Round Midnight, Tara and Samuel's innovative approach to film music and improvisation is beginning to bear fruit. Presented by Morocco Bound.
