about

CD released in 2012 on Emanem.

John Butcher - saxophones
Mark sanders - drums

"Once, John Butcher pitched saxophone improvisations into the unknown acoustics of highland caves and offshore oil tanks.
Here he engages with the percussionist Mark Sanders, a human arguably more inspiring, it appears, than a vast empty space.
Most popular music takes place en plein soleil. Butcher maintains that Ropelight, the thirty minute live recording that opens the album, where Sanders’ rumbling spatial sculptures subside into sustained soprano tones, was influenced by shafts of sunlight passing through drifting overhead clouds, and down through Conway Hall’s occluded glass roof.
Butcher and Sanders’ sympathetic dialogues echo that same interplay of light and air."
Stewart Lee
