Bathysphere (Greek words βαθύς (bathus), “deep" and σφαῖρα (sphaira), "sphere") is a large ensemble project that brings together improvisers from the Boston community—as well as out-of-town guests Jeb Bishop, Tony Malaby, and Taylor Ho Bynum, who joined us for this recording. The group’s name comes from the deep-sea submersible in which scientists William Beebe and Otis Barton set diving records in 1934. Our own explorations take place within a fifteen-member ensemble that includes two analog synthesizers and an abundance of deep pitches: two basses, two trombones, tuba, and baritone sax. The pieces were composed with the individual musicians in mind and their contributions during the rehearsal process were crucial.

Pandelis Karayorgis and Jorrit Dijkstra, September 2015

Away With You

Some of the finest, clearest compositions for octet ensembles. From the very beginning of Spirit Splitter, I'm hooked. Tim

Pillars
by Tyshawn Sorey

supported by 19 fans who also own “Bathysphere”

Total mastery of patience, time, and drama create a constantly engaging journey that never gets tiresome or same-y: in fact the harder you listen the better it gets! Somehow Sorey et al. find a way to combine the deep listening and spontaneous interaction of the best jazz with the sense of every tone and sound being worth a universe of listening, which could be equally from Cage and Feldman or the accompaniment to an ancient ritual. The recording/engineering is absolutely perfect as well. Giles
