Writing liner
notes for a project as spontaneous as this one is somewhat self-defeating. The
purpose of liner notes is generally to expound a concept, an innovation, a
purpose: we have none of these things.
We met to have a
few drinks, breathe the proverbial fresh air and play music, not to record an
album. We recorded in a living room, not in a studio, and on one handheld
recorder, not an expænsive setup.
There was no
playlist, program or concept, but only the projected coherence of our
individual musical personalities. We played instruments we didn’t know we could
play, and played things we didn’t know could be instruments. We played music we
knew and music we didn’t, and hopefully some music that’s new.
