Listening Session w/ Matthew Halsall
Based in Manchester, Halsall is known for being one of the leading artists of today’s UK jazz scene. Starting off by playing the trumpet in his early age, he has evolved not only into an extraordinary trumpeter, but also into an outstanding producer and composer whose distinct sound draws on foundations of spiritual jazz, meditative music, sample-fuelled electronica as well as global percussive influences. After releasing nine delicately composed albums and founding his label Gondwana Records in 2008, Halsall and his band headlined London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall last year - a manifestation of a career spent transcending boundaries and always bringing a singular, and yet ever-changing, perspective.

In our conversation, Halsall shares how his musical journey began as a passionate listener, and how the first instrument he experimented with was not the trumpet.

Listening Session w/ Matthew Halsall

False Mirror is a one-man project of Tobias Hornberger, focusing on Dark Ambient music and experimental soundscapes inspired by natural forces and industrial derelicts.

Sound sources range from various instruments like flutes, guitars, accordion, synthesizers and some exotic and self-built ones to an extensive use of field recordings and recordings of other non-musical sounds.
Many of the software tools and algorithms are programmed by Tobias himself.

Tobias Hornberger is also engaged in the Musique concréte/experimental music ensemble EMU and doing soundworks for installations, etc.


Kasheme is where Music and People come together. Our vision is to create a culture around conscious listening not only to music but to each other.

A space that invites us all to slow down and enjoy the moment together. Always guided by the healing power of music that connects people beyond borders and cultures.

Analogue Movement Records is a record label dedicated to exploring the depth and richness of electronic music.
