about

This recording of the first concert by the Butcher/Durrant electromanipulation duo was originally issued on CD in 1998 by Wobbly Rail.

"An outstanding example of fresh innovation in contemporary improvised UK music.
Phil Durrant performs live electronic manipulation of John Butcher's saxophone playing - the familiar skronks of the improviser's brass-puffing are constantly and instantly pushed completely out of shape, pulled into a wonky dimension of otherness, and propelled into unprecedented spaces they could never reach alone.
Sublime moments of music are achieved when Butcher battles it out with a titanic wave of white noise, or pipes a melodic parp over random bursts of burring, buzzing and beeping.
This is a bold artistic statement, a truly experimental gesture, and adds extra dimension to the art of improvising."
Ed Pinsent. Sound Projector - 1998

John Butcher - saxophones
Phil Durrant - live electronic manipulation and generation
