Peter Evans, Barry Guy

*2025 stock* "Peter Evans and I have occasionally met in larger ensembles for special projects. This particular concert in Uster (Switzerland) within the PAM festival on 18. November 2016, allowed us to delve into the minutiae of duo performance where intense listening and decoding of intentions kept our minds and bodies in high alert. This occasion had us playing somewhat athletically, pushing and pulling ideas around, and to be honest, we both felt exhausted after the concert but also exhilarated. The joys of improvisation I guess…. and high speed communication.

Despite the active interchange, there are slow moments of introspection to calm the soul, where unusual colours emerge - resonances perhaps of Robert Lax’s concrete poems (they gave us the idea for the titles) that avoid metaphor and imagery - just the face value which each listener is free to ruminate upon. The colour titles are suggestive of stepping stones aiding contemplation – or leading us to the gym! - Barry Guy
