Background
Impulse Voices was composed, produced, arranged and mixed by Plini, and recorded in his own bedroom studio.[2] Other members participating in the album include Chris Allison on drums and Simon Grove on bass, both of whom worked remotely and separately due to COVID,[3] with additional production by Devesh Dayal of Indian/American progressive metal band Skyharbor[4] and Aleksandra Djelmash, along with guests Dave Mackay on piano & synthesizer, John Waugh on saxophone, Amy Turk on electro-acoustic harp.[5]
While the album was recorded from March to May 2020, it was initially scheduled for release the following month, followed in July by touring in Europe and the United States, but due to the pandemic, the tour was cancelled, recording time was extended, and the album was not mastered until October.[6]
