Dee Byrne and Cath Roberts have worked together since 2013 across a range of creative collaborations: co-organising performances, tours and festivals under the banner of LUME, co-running the artist-led label Luminous, and performing together in numerous ensembles—including the UK/Swiss sextet MoonMot.
In early 2019, the two began playing improvised duo sets around London. Stripping the instrumentation back to alto and baritone saxophones created a sparse, intimate setting, allowing for a wide expressive range—from minimalist textures to full-throttle, high-energy exchanges. The duo recorded in April 2019, capturing a series of spontaneous, compact improvisations that reflect the raw immediacy of their musical dialogue.
Their debut duo album was released on Luminous in September 2020.
