Album Notes

This CD represents the culmination of a six-month collaboration between drummer/percussionist Bob Sterling and electro-acoustic guitar player Krispin Hartung. Spontaneously improvised files were exchanged on-line,
each player then responding to the previously recorded material.

Sometimes just two tracks were ultimately utilized, while at other other times several tracks were layered via further improvisations and then mixed in order to better balance the sound. The spirit of the CD lies in it spontaneity, each artist attempting to "get into the creative head" of the other in order to develop compositions that reflect a mood, a setting, or an implied situation. Bob used a number of acoustic and electronic devices to fulfill his artistic intents, from acoustic and electronic drums to effect units, mini synths, his voice and even small objects like plastic straws and twist ties. Krispen's instruments included Mini electric and nylon string guitars, nylon string guitar, voice and laptop computer. Bob and Kris continue to collaborate this way and intend to release more CD's of their music on a periodic basis in the future.
