One of the more inventive collectives in improvisational music, The
Space Between is Philip Gelb, shakuhachi; long time collaborator Dana
Reason, piano; and legendary figure of the American avant garde,
composer and educator Pauline Oliveros, on her custom built just
intonation accordion.
Because they reside in scattered areas of the country, it is a rare
treat to see them perform. Four very special performances, three with
guest artists, are available on 482 Music.
The cd with Barre Phillips has been described as "extraordinary"..
"fully rewarding".. "memorable in its audacity".. "a mix of paradox,
tension, co-operation and different backgrounds brought together in a
relaxed, unhurried way that sounds like nothing before it."
