about

JOHN BUTCHER: tenor or soprano saxophones - plus feedback, motors, embedded harp speaker.
RHODRI DAVIES: pedal harp, lever harp with embedded speaker and electric harp. Aeolian electric harp.

"John Butcher can conjure cast cyclonic drones from his saxophone; Rhodri Davies is a harpist given to precarious improvisations.
This 2008-recorded Newcastle duet employs "feedback, motors" and an embedded harp speaker", and identifying the sources of sounds on the seven tracks quickly becomes pleasingly futile.

Losh finds huge tones spreading like storm clouds over clunking low-end pulses; Gallow Gate creaks ominously amid electronic twittering; Scrogg is road drills and cicadas; Ouse Poppy's high pitched oscillations buzz new nodes in the ear. This album offers high-stakes free improvisation at its most unforgiving"

Stewart Lee, Sunday Times.
