On its two year of existence, RED trio invited the British saxophone player John Butcher for a series of concerts in Portugal (Fundação Culturgest in Lisboa, Fundação Serralves in Porto, CAE at Portalegre and Oeiras) and at Imaxinasons Festival in Spain in 2010. All the tour concerts were recorded and one studio session in Lisbon was made which is the material of this record. After two years playing together the idea to invite a new musician was seen as a challenge with the sole purpose to bring the music of each member of the trio to completely new universes. At that time the trio decided to invite John Butcher because of his way of thinking the music, his technique, but specially for his creativity. All the concerts with John Butcher where challenges because John was always looking for different paths, consciously pushing all the group not to repeat comfortable situations and to focus the improvisation on its most direct and intuitive aspect.
