Quotes
"I got the initial rhythmic idea for Mu Vol. 1 on a flight home from a Haken tour just before the lockdown kicked off in the UK, little did I know that it'd end up being
the catalyst for a trilogy of jazz-tinged, instrumental EPs. The rhythmic powerhouse, Lang Zhao, is on the drums and his highly creative playing style has really elevated
these arrangements to new levels. This new collection of songs has a strong focus on rhythm and explores some new ground for me as a writer and guitar player. I can't to share
what I've cooked up with everyone."
-Richard Henshall
