On this set of saxophone solos, John Butcher engages in sound explorations. Nine pieces are unaccompanied solos (either on tenor or soprano) while four utilize overdubbing as Butcher performs either four or six-piece sax ensembles. All of the music is freely improvised (although a few seem to have preplanned "plots") and some of the sounds that Butcher comes up with do not even sound like they could come from a saxophone. However, after a bit of listening, the chirping, squawks, and odd sounds get a bit tiring, and there is no attempt at conventional melodies, so this CD is only for specialized tastes.
