THE FOURTH WORLD QUARTET released two collections on Cuneiform Records a couple years back, both recorded in 1975.
The 1st was released in 2021 and the second in 2022 meeting rave reviews. Laurence and twin brother Ben were so
inspired by this that they then practiced and recorded 30 other compositions of theirs from those daze,
along with a few other musicians contributing tracks as well. To everyone's joyful astonishment,
Cuneiform Records went ahead and released that mammoth batch in July 2023
under the name MILLER TWINS Early Compositions (1973-76).
Laurence then formed TINN PARROW and his CLAPFOLD PLATUNE to push the vision further.
This new, seven-piece little 'big band' began rehearsing in March 2023 learning many
of those same compositions plus brand new material. 2024 marked the year
that The Platune began performing out into the world at large.
