Aura captures the unmatched synergy between two of AMM's core figures, percussionist Eddie Prévost and pianist John Tilbury, who also explores the harpsichord in this release. Recorded in the acoustically rich setting of The Sibelius Museum in Turku, Finland, this album offers a meditative, deeply intimate experience through extended improvisations that emphasize AMM's ethos of creating expansive, ambient soundscapes. With Prévost's textural percussive approach and Tilbury's subtle, evolving chords, the album invites listeners to enter AMM's unique world of spontaneous composition.

Eddie Prévost, a founding member of AMM, is known for his explorations in free improvisation, bringing a unique percussive sensibility that emphasizes texture and timbre. John Tilbury, a pianist closely associated with the British avant-garde, has collaborated with AMM since the 1980s. His playing, renowned for its sensitivity and depth, complements Prévost's percussive work, creating a distinctive dialog that has defined AMM's sound for decades. Together, they exemplify AMM's pursuit of pushing musical boundaries and creating deeply immersive sonic experiences.


Includes a 12-page booklet with liner notes by Niko-Mattti Ahtl, and by Taneli Viitahuhta, and b&w images.
