Summer Bummer Festival: Cath Roberts & Dee Byrne

Summer Bummer Festival: Cath Roberts & Dee Byrne

Cath Roberts (baritone saxophone) and Dee Byrne (alto saxophone) have worked together in various contexts since 2013: organising live performances, tours and festivals under the banner of LUME, co-running the record label Luminous and playing together in numerous projects – including UK/Swiss sextet MoonMot. In early 2019 they played a few improvised duo gigs around London, stripping everything away to the sparseness of an alto and baritone saxophone. Later that year they recorded the album ‘Disembark!’. The spontaneous, relatively short improvisations capture the spirit of the duo, with wildly ranging textures from minimalist sounds to full-on wailing.
