Musician Interview: Nathan Carter and Jack Woodbury from The Temple
Nathan Carter and Jack Woodbury from The Temple talk to us about their new spiritual Jazz album, Vastness Vastness.
The Temple are an Aotearoa New Zealand group featuring saxophonist, composer, programmer, and music teacher, Peter Liley, drummer, percussionist, musician, composer, electronic music producer and multi-media sonic artist, Nathan Carter (who performs as Alter Natural), and Wellington-based composer and audio engineer and producer, Jack Woodbury.
The album is at once still and ever shifting; it merges expressive ambient loops with saxophone and percussion. The album comprises of a pair of beautiful long-form works aimed to produce profound, intangible moments of stillness and reflection.
Their previous album "was a very different musical outing - a brooding, dark, ambient work that drew inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft’s short story “The Temple”.
We were thrilled when Nathan and Jack took time out from their very busy schedule to discuss Vastness Vastness, and we wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to them.
This interview was done in conjunction with Caffeine and Aspirin, the arts and entertainment review show on Radioactive FM.
