about

With this release we seek to challenge the normal process by which we record and release improvised music. As a band, we wanted to find a way of framing the openness with which the quartet plays and question the normal studio processes. It did not feel appropriate to represent this band by choosing one take of a composition that has travelled several different ways each time it is performed.

‘Skirfare’ is accompanied by a collection of unique and highly creative collages commissioned to support the release. Creative photography and design from David Stanley (GuriBosh) has produced a set of bespoke visual representations of the music: one represents every recording of every tune.
