about

“Experiments with a Leaf” is a live recording from October 2013 in Berne, Switzerland, where the duo was playing in a cathedral. The large natural echo in the great space somehow glued the sounds together without the music resorting to a wash of reverberated noise. On the contrary, the sound quality of these recordings bring to light the playing and listening skills of both players. As a duo, they have no agenda or pre-planned aesthetic: both musicians simply work with their wide and contrasting knowledge of sound and music, and their fine responsiveness to each other and to their surroundings. They make something that surprises themselves as much as their audience, never leaving one or the other behind.

A field perpetually at the edge of disorder
by John Edwards, Mark Sanders, John Tilbury

supported by 5 fans who also own “Experiments With A Leaf”

There is an instant feeling of something unique happening here...a tension, the sustained moment, the precision of the memorable creation of silence: the engagement of the intellect made tangible through sound and space...pretentious? I don't think so. I've been listening to this field of interaction for more years than I can recount and you get a feeling when you are listening to something on an altogether different level...a true meeting of the spirits.
