cat #: up 1
artist: sir name & various
title: conference

a true collaboration without verbal communication between avant-garde drummer / pianist sir name and 12 other artists. sound files were sent by post to each of the 12 musicians, they then manipulated / added to the piece and sent them back untill the tracks were finished. what resulted was a magnificent collage of styles and influences from the great bluesy 'heatseeker' by ben amato to the post-modern deconstruction of james webb and movie soundtrack-gone-wrong by adam lieber. derek gripper's beautiful 'still', brydon bolton's dark, ever changing double bass on 'nocturne' and thain torres' twisted poem.
