In "What Remains", composer and formidable saxophone improvisers Timothy O'Dwyer and John Butcher direct ELISION in a high-octane dialogue of musical strategies. Two independent musical languages collide, jostle and 'infect' one another to create another 'world intersecting within the cracks'. "What Remains" proposes ways of thinking about the possibilities for communication that cut across difference and division.
