  • Martin builds improvisations with a fine concern for tonal subtleties, shrewdly making use of multiphonic sounds and advanced fingerings… a distinctive voice and an explorer of restless promise" John Fordham - The Guardian

Jazz South Radar Commission 

Life-Cycles is dedicated to my father Patrick Noble who sadly died a week before the recording; a much loved organic farmer and writer. His books, farming and way of life were focused on how to farm and live in a local and truly sustainable way. Organic farming makes use of nature’s life cycles to keep the land fertile. My father’s last book ‘Walking Home’ addresses the fact that we need to respect, understand and work with these cycles if we are to reverse climate change and find a sustainable way of living together.
