Mike Black challenged himself to record and release an album in one months time, the result is GO/NO-GO, a series of electronic songs, tone poems and soundscapes, recorded live at his home studio. The release is a DIY CD, Mike playing, recording, producing, artwork, all of it done by him.

GO/NO-GO music has already been picked up by TROMA Films, played on XM Radio, and many terrestrial and internet stations.

The challenge to make an album in one month's time derives from Mike Black's past experience with Guitar Craft and Robert Fripp and the League of Crafty Guitarists

On Guitar Craft: Mike has also been involved with Guitar Craft, the ongoing series of courses that originated when Robert Fripp, founding member of King Crimson, began GC courses at Claymont Court in West Virginia. GC began in 1985, and Mike participated in courses between 1986-2000. One aspect of GC is the management of surprise, for example, the participants on a course are regularly challenged to compose music for live shows, often on a days [or less] notice.

Much of the motivation and aim of GO/NO-GO was inspired by the work of Guitar Craft.
