"A long and profound relationship between two radical improvisors has transformed into a multiverse of sound in three pieces.

On a curious day in Paris, John Butcher fell into his saxophone and ventured deep into its farthest corners. At the same time Rhodri Davies and his harp slowly merged into an otherwise unknown creature. As always John and Rhodri were adventurously exploring their respective instruments, and in its own singular fashion ‘Drunk on Dreams’ shows that ferocity and delicacy, odd individual outbreaks and deep connections doesn’t have to be opposites."

The recording was originally done for 'A l’Improviste – France Musique’ on Radio France, 8th June 2015. It was masterfully recorded by Olivier Dupré, Nicolas Slimani and Françoise Cordey and produced by Anne Montaron.

All music has been mastered by Rinus Hooning and wrapped in artwork by Cejero favorite Dennis Tyfus. It is released in an edition of 300 copies on solid white vinyl in reverse cardboard sleeves.

"It is hard to understand how so much can be created with so few notes, and most miraculously, how disciplined the interaction is, maintaining the sparse but constantly evolving sounds within the same level of trembling fragility without disrupting it, and even if at times a voice is raised, it adds contrast rather than conflict."
