Rooted in cinematic soundscapes, conjuring emotional evocative imagery. Having released albums under their own names, White & Colley come together for the first time to release a unique collaborative project, driven by soprano saxophone, violin and electronics. As well as conventional playing styles they employ extended techniques, utilizing the violin & Saxophone in textural and unexpected ways. Their live performances manipulate live strings, synths and multi-tracking recordings. Both driven by composition that defies categorisation, White & Colley traverse genres such as classical, jazz and electronica creating celestial soundscapes that immerse and captivate.
