This album contains only freely improvised music.
Sometimes words are involved, sometimes not.
The acoustic environments in which these recordings were made are an integral part of the sound. None of these recordings was made in a recording studio.
No editing, doctoring, processing or other clever-poncing-about was involved.
Everything was recorded direct to stereo master tape, using a bare minimum of equipment.
There were no rehearsals, no discussions, no preparations, just the creative act. No recording engineer was involved in this production.
Simple, yet high quality recording tools were initially set up then left well alone. What you hear is therefore what the original master tape heard: nothing more and nothing less than a total absence of production.
