    An Unacceptable Color
    "an unacceptable color" contains some of the most imaginative electronic sounds ever captured. athens near-legend robert duckworth and mississippi native roddy schrock, performing as tog, take the improvisational powerbook route towards sonic infamy.

Roddy Schrock began music composition studies with Mark Applebaum while still a student of sociology. He later relocated to Tokyo where he formed the laptop computer duo Tog with Robert Duckworth.
