"Axon" is a collaborative project that began life as a series of recorded guitar improvisations. These initial recordings provide the main source materials used in the fixed media element of the piece. Throughout the creative process the guitar and tape have been involved in a continual loop of mutual influence. Due to this working method we discovered that the line between the the composer and the performer became continually blurred and resulted in what we believe to be a truly collaborative piece that follows a combined creative vision. "Axon" was written by Michael Andrews and Ricky Graham.

All music was improvised in real-time with only trombone and voice as sound sources.

Some of these things I recorded to help me sleep, or to play in the background when I work or read. Sometimes I just post music that I recently recorded.
