The final night of Otomo and Sachiko's first residency in 2009 saw the pair joined by the long running trio of Evan Parker, John Edwards and Tony Marsh and special guest John Butcher. Butcher played duos with both Otomo and Sachiko (available as download only bonus tracks) and joined the quintet for a rousing sextet: stunning twin saxophone interplay, the unparalleled open-ness of the Marsh/Edwards rhythm pairing, Sachiko's deft high frequency interventions and Otomo's guitar at the centre - moving between abrasive textural invention and suggestive single note runs of ever-shifting melody. John Edwards: double bass (tracks 1 & 2), Tony Marsh: drums (tracks 1 & 2), Sachiko M: electronics [sine waves] (tracks 1, 2 & 4), Otomo Yoshihide: guitar (tracks 1, 2 & 3), Evan Parker: saxophone (tracks 1 & 2), John Butcher: saxophone (tracks 1, 3 & 4).
