Although an often cited accolade 'unique' is a word that rings true when describing Evening In The Universe (EITU). Reflecting the unparalleled multicultural demographic of London in 2024, EITU's instrumentation & members draw from a wide range of traditions that would only be possible in this time and this place. It's possible to define the music as European jazz in its form and explorative nature but the entire sound is somewhere closer to the texture of Senegalese percussive musics. This combined with a modern understanding of effects and soundscapes gives the sound an expansive quality which firmly plants EITU in a neighbourhood of its own. Described as trance-like, the timbre of this group's performances create a feeling of tribal movement. The talking-drum - Shaun Quinn, a bizarre mix recycled gas canisters & metal detritus - Saul Eisenburg, the standard drum kit - Filippo Gali, Basses - JJ Stillwell, and Saxophones - Tashomi Balfour combine to create the living EITU
