Tim Conley (aka MAST) + North Sea String Quartet e.a.

Battle Hymns of the Republic

Tim Conley, originally from Philadelphia and now based in Los Angeles, is a jazz musician, composer, producer and electronic musician known by his stage name MAST. MAST combines jazz improvisation, electronic beats, live guitar and keyboards into a unique sonic experience. His latest album 'Battle Hymns of the Republic' is a powerful reflection on contemporary social and political struggles, and stands for unity and empathy. With a diverse discography, including a cosmic reworking of Thelonious Monk's work, a conceptual journey through 'Love and War' and multiple collaborative projects, MAST's live performances are known for their intensity and innovation. He will release his album 'Battle Hymns of the Republic' with an all-star line-up in which Conley is joined by Betamax (drummer Maxwell Hallett, known for The Comet is Coming), cellist Artyom Manukyan, bassist Thomas Pol, violist Annemarie Hensens and the North Sea String Quartet.

'...captures the compelling mix of electronic music, jazz and hip-hop that thrives in the underground. What once sounded like the future has arrived just in time,' the LA Times said.
