using live improvised electronics… sometimes even they click :)  Haven't been able to re-create this live-set since then!

This is excellent, I love the melodies on the cello. And the mixture of musical elements really makes it extremely unusual and interesting to listen to!

Amazing percussive works, so pure! Love the folkloristic influences - very nice athmosphere!

woah! great drum stuff all over here man!

Recorded Live at the BopShop, Rochester, NY on 8/3/11 with Trina Basu on violin
