Tip! *200 copies limited edition* Sax player Katsura Yamauchi (born in 1954) is based in Oita, Japan. He began performing in earnest in the early 2000s, and since then has toured in Japan, Europe, North America, Southeast Asia and Taiwan and continued to expand his distinctive musical activities. Jason Kahn (percussion, voice, electronics, guitar) was born in New York in 1960 and lives in Zurich. He has performed throughout the world and been a prominent figure on the improvised/experimental music scene for many years.
Kahn visited Japan in autumn 2023, and he and Yamauchi gave duo performances in Oita on October 3rd and Fukuoka (Hakata) on October 4th. Time Between contains two pieces from each of those performances (four in total). Yamauchi played sax, and Kahn used electronics. The performances progress in a minimalistic way overall, with occasional bursts of fierce intensity. The two musicians’ special characteristics and remarkable creative affinity are evident in these excellent performances.
