Between the Skies

from Made to Measure by John Butcher

about

Soprano and Tenor Saxophones + sound files.

Between the Skies was commissioned for "Visiting Tarab", a project conceived by Tarek Atoui as a modern day response to the pre-war Arabic music recordings collected by Kamal Kassar in Beirut.
It was written for saxophone plus sound files derived from these 78s.

This performance was part of "La Suite" - a five-hour event curated by Tarek Atoui to launch the Serpentine Gallery's Memory Marathon.

In 2013 Out Of The Machine commissioned Butcher to expand "Between the Skies" into an hour long concert presentation - Tarab Cuts - for which he invited drummer Mark Sanders to join him.
