file under extreme ambience,some very nice progressions, ooh some very nice moments 11/10

Takes a while to get going, but this is very good indeed! :-)

amazing!  love the atmospher and originality

A wonderful piece of music - congratulations.

At the beginning of the 2013 reformation of Dean's band, The Stratos Ensemble, it was a trio for many months.  During those months there were 5 rehearsals, this track being from the 4th rehearsal in 2013, and the first professionally recorded one since the band had last disbanded in 2005.  All music is completely improvised.  There are no instrument overdubs, other than heavy processing with some additional field recordings (ambient environments) and a single chop down the middle to shorten the song by a few minutes.

Brock Bowers - drums
Kent Baxter - upright bass
Dean De Benedictis - keyboard synths and atmospheres
