John Butcher - Calls From a Rusty Cage

from the album: Resonant Spaces (2008)

WIRE 299 - Jan 2009: "In 2006, UK promoters Arika invited John Butcher to tour a number of out of the way spaces in Scotland. The venues, selected for their extreme acoustic properties, included a mausoleum, a wartime fuel storage tank and a cave. This resulting album grows out of the saxophonist's interest in escaping the acoustic confines of conventional venues - work with resonant spaces is documented on the earlier The Geometry of Sentiment and Cavern with Nightlife. Butcher plays tenor and soprano saxophones, sometimes adding feedback and amplification. Such site-specific performances are unrepeatable, of course, but the CD shows that you didn't have to be there to get what he's doing."
