about

A very interesting meeting of three very different styles.
Recorded on February 18th in Unna.
Bela and I contribute various kinds of mostly wind instruments, while Benjamin concentrates on assorted percussion and effect pedals with a microphone which he uses to mangle his live percussion.
No overdubs were used whatsoever, everything you hear was recorded as is and only slightly cut to make for a shorter runtime by myself, after receiving high quality master recordings from Benjamin.
There are great moments on here, for example Bela on Fretless Guitar (!) and Benjamin playing random percussive objects through a ring modulator, but I don't want to waste your time by "dancing about architecture" for too long, instead I just urge you to pay attention and let the music do the metaphorical dancing.
I hope you enjoy listening to these recordings as much as I do, and I am pretty sure that this is a sign of many more collaborations to come.
With Love,
Paul* Hermansen.
