THE BOILEROOM’S 19TH BIRTHDAY

Best known as a member of both Portico Quartet and Submotion Orchestra, as well as being Matthew Halsall’s pianist for many years and a sideman/collaborator with figures such as DJ Shadow, Mr. Scruff, Fred Wesley and Dennis Coffey, Taz Modi’s solo project combines atmospheric piano, lush strings and subtle ambient electronica to create hypnotic and evocative soundscapes. His debut album ‘Reclaimed Goods’ brings to light his love for contemporary piano composition, calling to mind the work of Cage, Frahm, Sakamoto, Hauschka and Aphex Twin.
