Their debut album ‘Adventure’ released on digital, CD and vinyl in March 2018. Within days, it reached the top 10 in the iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and Bandcamp Jazz charts, and had extensive official playlisting on several Spotify editorial favourites, including State of Jazz, Fusion Fest, and Jazz UK. BBC Radio 3’s Nick Luscombe called the album ‘Life affirming music’.The Lydian Collective sound is a unique combination of accessible melodies, accomplished musicianship, hypnotic rhythms and an uplifting vibe, which has already been drawing in audiences from around the world. The millions who follow the band’s online channels include fans from as far afield as the USA, China and Japan – with a healthy following on home ground as well, through early support from the likes of Tom Robinson at BBC6Music.Having played at some of the most prominent venues in the UK and Europe – including Ronnie Scott’s, Jazz Café London (supporting the legendary Billy Cobham), London Jazz Festival, Royal Festival Hall, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, So What’s Next? Festival Eindhoven, 606 Club, Camden Assembly and Union Chapel – Lydian Collective show no signs of slowing down. 2019’s highlights included taking to the Main Jazz Arena Stage at Cheltenham Jazz Fest, as well as a once-in-a-lifetime performance with the 85-piece Capital Orchestra at Cadogan Hall, where the band’s music was especially arranged for a full ensemble. In 2018, ‘High 555’ pushed the boundary lines of jazz fusion into an energetic, danceable groove whilst still delivering the compelling infectious melodies that L/C fans have come to love. The single has had more than 300k streams on Spotify. The magical track ‘Out Of The Woods’ is the first single from L/C’s forthcoming second album, and features the ancient Scandinavian instrument - the nyckelharpa - played by Lucie Treacher. Taking the Collective’s trademark jazz-fusion sound, and marrying it with celtic/scandi folk vibes, ‘Out Of The Woods’ creates a mystical journey full of energy and wonder. In its first month of release, it had more than 20,000 Spotify streams.2020 saw the release of official sheet music and backing tracks for ‘Adventure’, which are available to purchase at lydiancollective.com'Shuffle Bubble' and 'November' are the most recent releases from the band's new album.

Dreamscapes EP - The Laszlo Project LydianLabelOnline 2022-01-20 | 60 seconds of Dreamscapes - the new EP from Lydian Collective's composer and pianist, The Laszlo Project! Buy/stream it here: laszloproject.fanlink.to/dreamscapesDreamscapes features the four singles: Kyoto Rain, Nagoya Moon, Longing and Frenetics, which have already amassed over 250k streams on Spotify alone.The 2021 EP from The Laszlo Project (a.k.a Aaron Wheeler) is Dreamscapes - a masterful 4-track record that continues a decades-long experimentation in sound from a composer who never fails to delight and beguile.Laszlo returns to his roots on this EP, with colourful, dream-like piano melodies. From the beautifully reflective monsoon of Kyoto Rain to the taste-the-rainbow wackiness of Frenetics, Dreamscapes undoubtably takes the listener on a journey into the ether. It is a marked departure from the synth and funk of The Laszlo Project’s 2020 release, Press Start. “Dreamscapes has a more organic sound palate - real instrumentation and a heavier emphasis on improvised solos,” says Aaron. With early support on Jamie Cullum’s Jazz Show (BBC Radio 2), and Nick Luscombe (ex-BBC Radio 3), as well as continual placement on Spotify’s Jazz UK and Changes playlists, Dreamscapes has already amassed more than 250,000 streams on Spotify alone.Central to the concept of the EP was the accompanying artwork and animations, created by London-based artist Adam Davies. “This was a really visual process; we struck gold when we discovered Adam, he really understood how these songs take visual form.” Davies also drew from a key influence over Aaron’s music; that of Japanese composers Joe Hisaishi (best known for scoring the Studio Ghibli films), Nobuo Uematsu (known for the Final Fantasy video game series) and virtuoso jazz pianist Hiromi Uehara. “It made sense for the Japanese aesthetic to permeate not only across the sound and song titles - Kyoto Rain and Nagoya Moon - but also on the covers,” says Aaron. “So you can see it in the architecture; in the brush strokes and the use of colour; even the way that it’s animated.” The final EP artwork combines elements from each of the four single covers, bringing the works together optically as well as aurally. Across the EP, vocals from Phoebe-Wright-Spinks add alternating haunting or joyful depth, whilst the talents of Michael Underwood (saxophone and flute), Simon Joiner (trumpet and flugel horn), Sam Gale (trombone) and Sophie Alloway (drums) give the record texture and a wonderful fluidity - perhaps most notably on the crescendoed outro to nostalgic Longing.Accompanying the release are the official sheet music downloads for all four tracks, transcribed by Tom Knowles. The bundle is available to purchase from Bandcamp and the official Lydian Collective store via the link above, and Dreamscapes is available to stream everywhere now.Dreamscapes tracklist:Kyoto RainNagoya MoonLongingFreneticsthelaszloproject.cominstagram.com/laszloprojectfacebook.com/laszloprojecttwitter.com/laszloproject

BBC Radio 3’s Nick Luscombe called the album ‘Life affirming music’.The Lydian Collective sound is a unique combination of accessible melodies, accomplished musicianship, hypnotic rhythms and an uplifting vibe, which has already been drawing in audiences from around the world. The millions who follow the band’s online channels include fans from as far afield as the USA, China and Japan – with a healthy following on home ground as well, through early support from the likes of Tom Robinson at BBC6Music.Having played at some of the most prominent venues in the UK and Europe – including Ronnie Scott’s, Jazz Café London (supporting the legendary Billy Cobham), London Jazz Festival, Royal Festival Hall, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, So What’s Next? Festival Eindhoven, 606 Club, Camden Assembly and Union Chapel – Lydian Collective show no signs of slowing down. 2019’s highlights included taking to the Main Jazz Arena Stage at Cheltenham Jazz Fest, as well as a once-in-a-lifetime performance with the 85-piece Capital Orchestra at Cadogan Hall, where the band’s music was especially arranged for a full ensemble. In 2018, ‘High 555’ pushed the boundary lines of jazz fusion into an energetic, danceable groove whilst still delivering the compelling infectious melodies that L/C fans have come to love. The single has had more than 300k streams on Spotify. The magical track ‘Out Of The Woods’ is the first single from L/C’s forthcoming second album, and features the ancient Scandinavian instrument - the nyckelharpa - played by Lucie Treacher. Taking the Collective’s trademark jazz-fusion sound, and marrying it with celtic/scandi folk vibes, ‘Out Of The Woods’ creates a mystical journey full of energy and wonder. In its first month of release, it had more than 20,000 Spotify streams.2020 also saw the release of official sheet music and backing tracks for ‘Adventure’, which are available to purchase at lydiancollective.comThe latest single - ‘Shuffle Bubble’ - released in Spring 2021, is an upbeat tune featuring bouncy guitar hooks and nostalgic melodies which drive the first half of the track, before things ascend into a vintage psychedelic jam worthy of the finest wizard hats - and ultimately a 1970's style fade out. It paves the way for the band’s sophomore album, due in Autumn 2021.

The latest single ‘High 555’ pushes the boundary lines of jazz fusion into an energetic, danceable groove whilst still delivering the compelling infectious melodies that L/C fans have come to love. At the time of writing it has had more than 250,000 streams on Spotify, paving the way for a fresh EP release in the summer.Credits:Chris Kalcov - audio recordingFraser Watson - filmingSam Ziaika - video editing

Preferring to stay out of the limelight of recorded music, Wheeler’s is a shining example of some of the less well-publicised means of making a healthy living creating music.A veteran composer of over 750 tracks for library and media music for clients - including Abbey Road, Universal, Sony and many others – it’s likely you will have heard Wheeler’s work without realising. Working on this side of the business means that many people will have inadvertently heard Wheeler’s work with the Champions League, Channel 4, ITV, Apple and Dell just some of the companies he’s created music for.
