Heddy Boubaker: alto saxophone
Birgit Ulher: trumpet

The duo Myelin features Hamburg based trumpeter Birgit Ulher, who continues to work with shapes, textures and colours found beyond her instrument's open tone. Her largely self-taught approach is by now familiar, but the outcome still sounds fresh and inventive, with a strong sense of emerging form. Her partner in the group is another radical autodidact, French alto saxophonist Heddy Boubaker. On Axon's seven tracks, recorded in Hamburg in July 2010, they are heard in microscopic close-up and seem to be running off the same circuit. That's an apt metaphor: in cellular biology, an axon is a fibre conducting electrical impulses from a nerve cell; while myelin is a tissue that enhances the process. It's easy enough to conceive this elusive yet engrossing music as a custom-made soundtrack for the agitated transmission of neural electricity. - Julian Cowley, The Wire
