Ultraviolet has performed at many venues, art spaces, and notable festivals throughout British Columbia, and they’ve been gaining international attention for their genre-defying sound. Their debut album, Ripples and Waves, was captured during a two-day,live-off-the-floor recording session at Dove Creek Studio in Courtenay, with Jeff Drummond at the engineering controls.
Bowman says: “Our creative process is fuelled by a spirit of continuous exploration that drives creative collaboration. This is realized through rhythmic improvisation and spontaneous composition. We thrive off the sense of connection and energy of being fully ‘in the moment.’”
Here is what Ultraviolet members had to say about their music and creative process:
“Connection with our natural surroundings here on Vancouver Island (and beyond) and an ever-deepening sense of family/community have all, undeniably, been sources of inspiration in the process of this music coming forth, coming through us and our instruments. Inspiration is everywhere. Music is everywhere. An energy source resonating infinitely throughout both visible and invisible realms, awaiting exploration, interaction, awakening connection, awe and discovery of what has always been there.”
