Album Notes

Peter Whitehead
Norman Rutherford
Andrew Kushin

Improvised instrumental music with strains of jazz,
classical and various brands of urban rock and world folk music. Rough
at the edges but with occasional finely polished surfaces. A sense of
humour exists alongside the more serious, atmospheric compositions.
Scores for (as yet) unmade films.
Features cello, double bass, bass clarinet, spike fiddles, sampler,
tape loops, junk percussion and toys
