Anne Gillis (Paris) is a composer and performer since the eighties, Paul Abbott (Antwerp ) is a musician, drummer, writer, and Seymour Wright (London) is a saxophonist and writer. In 2021, during Covid restrictions, the trio of Anne Gillis and XT (Paul Abbott and Seymour Wright) developed a piece remotely together for Café Oto online radio broadcast program. A one-hour piece titled “Our/s Bouture(s)” was ‘broadcast’ on 1 June 2021 to online audinece, and we present a complete program with careful CD mastering by Giuseppe Ielasi. The trio’s concept for “Our/s Bouture(s)” is to ‘plant’ sounds and movements, which will grow and evolve through broadcasting, and what you will hear is not a 'performance' but a one-hour journey of organic sonic sound structure.
フランスはパリを拠点に80年初頭より音楽家・パフォーマーとして活動を続けているManon Anne Gillis。ブリュッセルにて即興ピアニスト/ドラマーとして演奏活動を行なってきたPaul Abbott、サクソフォニスト、またライターとして執筆活動も行うSeymour Wrightのデュオユニット"XT"と共にリモートで完成させた2021年の共同録音。ロンドンの実験音楽ライブハウス"Cafe OTO"のウェブ・ライブ放送の為に用意された作品であり、2021年6月1日にノンストップでブロードキャストされた音源。放送を通して録音自体を成長させるという主旨のもと、演奏というスタイルではなく緻密なサウンドの構築に拘り抜いた1時間の記録。

Despite the length and variety offered by this release, a few general techniques or patterns are present throughout. Most notable is the interaction between Thomas and Wright, with the former playing in his signature dense and percussive style while the latter provides bursts of gritty notes on the alto. Wright’s wailing is an unconventional counterpoint to Thomas’s classicism.
