John Butcher - saxophones
Torsten Muller - double bass
Dylan van der Schyff - drums
Way Out Northwest trio was formed in 2007 following a duo collaboration between John Butcher and Dylan van der Schyff in 2001. They have mostly performed in Canada and have released two albums.
Jason Bivins writes about their performance in The White Spot (Released by Relative Pitch Records):
"On The White Spot, theirs is a fierce, focused music. Butcher is especially adept at modifying his singular voice to fit the context; here, his long burrs and burls fit particularly well with the woody bustle of his partners. It's hard to deny the insectoid pleasures of "Graminea," where Muller's pizzicato abilities and occasional, honest-to-goodness walking lines make for nice contrast with the otherwise non-idiomatic expressions. There's some glorious hush and wafting overtones on "Impressum," some pungent soprano lines and intervals amid the swirl on "Schoepfiae," urgent jabs on "Earlianum," and - from Van der Schyff - a big roar and Lovens-ish rumble on ""Saponariae." Bracing stuff."
