Provenance

Martin Archer and John Jasnoch have a musical relationship which goes all the way back to the early 1980s when they were both a part of jazz-punk pell-mellers Bass Tone Trap. Over the subsequent years they have played and recorded together occasionally, previously as ASK, and now as this no frills improvised music duo which allows both musicians to utilise the full range of their respective instrumentation and to play on a style which is very personal to both musicians without undue regard to convention or expectation. This new work was recorded in the same place at the same time, one day in July 2021. The conversation continues.

Martin Archer: sopranino, saxello, alto, tenor & baritone saxophones, flute, bass harmonica
John Jasnoch: electric guitar, acoustic 12 string guitar, lap steel guitar, mandolin, banjo, oud, ukulele
