"Gathering" brings together the most exceptional music and video art works of the Toronto-based duo Smash and Teeny, created live in performance, in studio and at site-specific outdoor locations in Canada, the U.S. and England, between 2001-2003. In this double-CD debut of Smash and Teeny with special guest John Butcher, prepared electric guitar, manipulated natural and urban sounds, de-tuned shō and soprano and tenor saxophones conspire and collide, weaving impossibly beautiful improvised sonic landscapes. A stunning blend of saxophone science meets a universe of crafted sampled environments and ancient reed cries, all blended with guitar that has been lovingly altered to resemble massed percussion and string ensembles.
