squib-box are proud to present Songs from Badly-Lit Rooms. This collection of improvisations, recorded over 2011 and 2012, are the result of a longstanding musical partnership between Jackson and Taylor.

Part wild and unbridled, part delicate and poised, these remarkable performances capture a particularly intuitive and intimate dialogue between two active members of the free improv scene.

Something distinctly unique in the inherently prolific world of improvised music, Songs from Badly-Lit Rooms rewards repeated listening.

21st century Chamber Music at its finest.
