The tape is split with Rutger Hauser who also performed on the same evening. The cassette release is a limited edition of 80 with multi-layered translucent artwork by John Harries.

Oval

New cassette release on the Tombed Visions label, 'Oval' is taken from an improvised studio session with Graham Dunning on turntable, dubplates, and effects. 

"Punctuated by space-echo swirls and throbbing with heaving drones, Oval is a far spacier record than Dunning and Webster’s previous collaborations. Where, for instance, Estigate, their first joint on Linear Obsessional Recordings, stuttered and started in spasmodic convulsions, this one heaves and swells.
Oval has a kind of cinematic grandeur, an impressionistic rapture in broad brushstrokes and dappled light to contrast with the pointillism of its predecessor. Even if the second side is more sparse and kinetic, it still feels windswept and expansive in it’s bruised intimacy.”

Robert Barry – The Wire. July 2016

Line-up: Colin Webster - Baritone Saxophone, Graham Dunning - Turntable, Dubplates, Spring Reverbs

Duo With Graham Dunning

I've just finished recording a series of saxophone and turntable improvisations with Graham Dunning. Graham is a sound/visual artist who uses a lot of field recordings, tapes, found sounds, custom vinyl, etc.. in his work. In this project he used a fairly minimal set-up of a turntable and mixer. For me this is a continuation of the solo work I've done recently, exploring extended techniques, and employing very quiet sounds. We'll be looking to release the recordings once we've finished the editing/mastering process. Meanwhile here's a link to Graham's work, and a couple of shots from the session:
