"Inspired by the short stories and poetry of Edgar Allan Poe, Re:EAP make unique music that does not fit into any recognized genres. Each song refers either directly or indirectly to the writer's historic work, and creates a sound world that is strikingly fresh, blending composition and improvisation, acoustic and electric timbres, conventional and unconventional homemade instruments in order to vividly evoke the themes broached in Poe's texts. The band was founded by Kevin Le Gendre (regular at BBC 4's Front Row, and writer at The Times, The Guardian, Jazzwise and many more) in spring 2017 and made its live debut at Wilton's Music Hall in east London in winter of that year as part of a celebration of Poe, and has been working steadily towards its debut album in the past few years. The original bandmembers include internationally renowned classical percussionist Beibei Wang, who has collaborated with the BBC and Toronto Symphony Orchestras, pianist Colin Thorpe, a major force in black music in Britain over the past four decades, and vocalist Miryam Solomon, a hugely talented artist who has released music to great acclaim in the past few years."
