*Limited Edition* Here we have two saxophone masters questioning space through sound and movement, and working in the most inspirational place. "Locus" Puget-ville is a small village in the south France countryside, among vineyards and woods. It's also the place where Barre Phillips spent the most part of his life. And It's the place where the Cepi organization led by him and some brave comrades was born and organized lot of meetings on the topic of mutlidisciplinary improvisation. Torto Editions has a strong bondage with this incredible reality, as it's proved with the Cepi Nomads record in its catalogue. 

"Genius Loci is an alternation of sound spaces coordinated by time and desire for deep connection in a shared duration. Practical spirituality without doctrine, geo-anarchist and rebellious. Meta-balance between subdued and submerged dialogue. Non-illusory hermitage with telepathic coordination. Sonic explorations by means of bio-rhythmic figurations. Harmonic explosions of melodic landscapes. The blossoming of meaning in the middle of sound." - Davide Barbarino
