about

This is the third full length album of the music of Ryan McGregor and Charles Dragoo. What started as a recording project in the summer of 2015 has been revisited, mixed & mastered in 2020. Each piece was performed live as a duo, with some tracks overdubbed afterward. The three sax-based tracks are a synthesis of compositional practice and improvised performance, where free music is used as a template on which a greater sonic vision is then built. The second track, "Gust," was recorded for nylon-string guitar and drums and contains no overdubs.
