. 		This collection was recorded in the early months of 2007. It is almost entirely improvised, the sessions bringing out ethereal poetry, throat singing/walls of voice & combinations of acoustic instruments and electronic processing.

Aslan Rife contributes varied vocal roles, from distant spoken-word to bright and shifting layers of harmony. Jake Sweeney-Samuelson works with the soft hum of his voice and smooth swoops on the analog Juno-6 synthesizer. Michal Szostalo chimes minimalist progressions on the CZ-1 synthesizer &, in rare fashion, rattles shimmering accordion chords.

"Waters Birds" features samples of Jackie An, Evan Gilman & Aslan Rife.
