This collaboration brings together Catherine Sikora's saxophone and Finola Merivale's compositions for field recordings and electronics. Sikora's incisive, texturally rich playing unfolds against Merivale's carefully shaped sonic environments, where found sounds and subtle processing create shifting atmospheres. The work emphasizes deep listening, blurring the line between instrumental gesture and environmental sound, and moves between stark minimalism and dense, evocative layers.
