Steinway artist, Chad Lawson, decided Chopin needed a new introduction.  Along with violinist Judy Kang (Lady Gaga, Ryuichi Sakamoto) and cellist Rubin Kodheli (Kanye West, Norah Jones), Lawson has arranged ten Chopin works into a minimalist landscape.

It's a risk editing the "poet of the piano" but one that Chopin would be proud of.  

Taking 10 Chopin works, Lawson decided to scale the works down to a minimalist setting.  "I knew even if bare-bones, Chopin's works could still be as spellbinding as the original compositions we are so familiar with." says the pianist.  

Produced by Chad Lawson & Alejandro Clavijo. Mixed by Stephen Lee Price.  Mastered by Michael Graves of Osiris Studios (Atlanta, GA).

¿¡FLAMBOYANT JAZZ-PUNK!?

A musical chimera that combines the visceral energy of punk, the danceability of drum'n'bass and the intriguing nuance of jazz: Ask My Bull is delightfully hyperactive and cinematically epic.

Fluorescent and flirtatious or blunt and vulgar; they crackle with an infectious energy that always sends a current through the crowd. Always primed for festival season, Ask My Bull has rocked many of the best, including Shambala, Boomtown, Bearded Theory, Beat-herder, Kendal Calling, Eden, Kelburn Garden Party, Nozstock and One Tribe/Audio Farm.

An instrumental whirlwind from Manchester; they often rock it as a 3-piece with experimental textures and heavy grooves from Molly on alto sax, Tom on bass and Harry on drums. The extended 5-piece lineup has Elliot join up front on tenor sax, and Nathan (aka Mango Thomas) joining on bass while Tom switches to guitar.

For people who like...
jazz, gypsy, ska | drum'n'bass, dubstep, jungle | punk, math rock, prog rock | video game music, film music | flamboyant jazz punk, party prog |

“Manchesters own sonic Chinashop spectacle ‘Ask My Bull’ turn energy dial to eleven” - Liverpool Noise

“The raw energy that they summon on stage is infectious and it imbues the amassed crowd with a feral community spirit which they use to dance themselves giddy paying tribute to the music gods in sweat. It is impossible to resist the other-worldy tug that is conjured by this frenetic and frantic music, once you give in and surge with the tidal force of it on the shore of the stage it is an experience like no other.” - whatculture.com
