Three weeks in residence at the UNCOOL house in Poschiavo, Switzerland, including ten days of self-isolation. An unusually long (for me) period of uninterrupted solitude and work. After practice and before other work I often recorded short pieces, mostly drawing on similar material. The wood-panelled room has a beautiful warm sound.
Heartfelt thanks to Arts Council England, Cornelia Müller, and UNCOOL.

the artists seem to downplay their achievement as something they just tossed together in the living room during pandemic lock down. Yet, it is a highly original take on the classic drums/sax duo. A huge range of musical ground is covered, and emotional content. A great album in any context, I listen to it often. bob3
