Sarah Yates (double bass) and Melanie Sehman (drums, percussion) form an improvising duo that approaches jazz as an exploration of the common ground between their diverse musical languages. Their work breaks down conventional ensemble roles, blurring the line between melody and rhythm which is so often starkly drawn, defining their music instead by placing radical listening and interaction at the center of the creative process. The results are spacious and often idiosyncratic improvisations.
