ALATI is a trio led by Norwich-based trumpeter Chris Dowding, exploring his settings of poems, including work by Alice Oswald, Andrew McMillan and Colin Simms, in both acoustic and electric worlds…
Originally a flexible group which formed around the project ‘Another Look at the Illuminations’, the acronym of this debut project gave ALATI its name when the group crystallised into a trio with London-based vocalist Brigitte Beraha, and pianist Dave O’Brien, now based in Geneva.
In this formation, ALATI have performed around the UK and released several recordings, including the critically acclaimed ‘Ascending the Morning’ - a collection of settings of poems by Alice Oswald, presented in a booklet with the notation of the songs and artwork by Morris English.
