‘third one rises’ is the newly recorded album composed and produced by andrew plummer. following kabukikore releases: ‘lady chanson lane’ (kkcd43 2003) and ‘diamond suicide (kkse09 2005), plummer set out to compose music specifically for his new ensemble, featuring hip and heavy stars of the uk jazz and new music scene -  “world sanguine report form a frightening and formidable ensemble; strength and beauty, heavy as lead”.

drawing on influences such as composers: kagel, nancarrow, scelsi and messiaen; as well as beefheart, ribot and cash – ‘third one rises’ explores tonality, musical time and form -– reinterpreting musical genre through juxtaposition of compositional techniques, cut throat improvisations and song.

recorded and mixed at studios based in london and leeds, then mastered by peter beckmann -  the result is a violent, beautiful journey through the under growth of gauzlin web stuck stick. third one rises turns home returning lost home lost.
