“A shared interest and passion for the ambient, experimental, improvisational and unusual aspects of guitar playing – as well as  FX innovations –  lead us to discuss making time to play and record together. As tends to happen during the busy days of working life, family commitments, work schedules and travel tend to take president over organising self-indulgent noodling and recording sessions! Good intentions sometimes take a little longer than planned to come to fruition, as most musicians will testify. Some four years after our initial discussions, we planned a rehearsal and playing time – and then had to cancel it due to illness. So we finally agreed that there was only one solution. Play a concert together and see what happens. In at the deep end, to say the least.

Jason Boardman, enthusiastic entrepreneur, promoter, musician and fan of all things experimental and left of centre, kindly offered us a show at Knoxville’s premier alternative music venue, the Pilot Light. And so it was that on a wintery November evening, we finally made it happen. Matt Honkonen took care of all the the live recording technicalities, the post production and mixing and mastering process. St. Thomas LeDoux did a great job mixing the live sound in the venue. And we would like to extend our grateful thanks to the enthusiastic audience, as well as to all fans of experimental ambient music.” – David. 18th March 2018
