For his debut as a leader Flin van Hemmen presents Drums of Days, a hauntingly beautiful album of compositions and improvisations that draw inspiration from a wide array of sources ranging from Romanticism to Minimalism. The use of poetry, post-production and field recordings add vivid visual and spacial dimensions, all contributing to the cinematic quality of the album.
The band featured on the album consists of Todd Neufeld exclusively on acoustic guitar, Eivind Opsvik on double bass and van Hemmen on piano and drums. In addition, on two of tracks there are contributions by saxophonist Tony Malaby and poet Eliot Cardinaux.
