Time in the Wilderness

Time in the Wilderness captivates audiences with original, engaging instrumental grooves that transport listeners into uncharted musical territories. Based in Washington, DC, the quintet skillfully blends soundscapes and improvisational elements to explore themes of hope and discovery, seamlessly weaving together genres through intricate rhythms.

Dueling drummers (Brad Samuels and Paul Aquilino) craft a unified pocket of polyrhythms, starting a topic with bass player (Mike Landis) on both 4-string and 6-string tic-tac bass, juicing the hook. Themes are cultivated, nurtured and destroyed on meandering planes established by guitar, synth and other sonic devices (Andre Radloff). Soaring and catchy, masterful trumpet (Ralph Burrows) transports us to other spheres.
