"Drawn Inward" is the follow-up to the widely-acclaimed "Toward The Margins", a recording that attracted a great deal of critical attention for its sensitive cross-referencing of free improvisation, live electronics and real-time sound processing. "Absorbing, innovative and wholly original music," The Times of London declared. "Drawn Inward" adds computer musician/composer Lawrence Casserley to the line-up. At any given moment, up to five musicians in the band are playing live electronics, increasing the fascinating maze-like complexity of the sound that swirls around Parker's extraordinary saxophone.
