Here we have what was originally issued as a limited edition on Digitalis and now available once again through Avant Archive although it is already sold out at source so move fast. The recordings present are from 2005-2008 and were created with piano and toy piano, improvised and then tape loops were created, some electronic manipulation occurred, all the while the good old cassette remained the only recording format. Although the audio is quite distinctive, being Celer, it does show a slightly different side. The usual calming, reflective and brain massaging tones are all present together with a more playful feel at times. This is easing me out of my working day quite nicely.

We speak saying nothing
breath sound gropes at space to birds we prate;
Making a gulf of your body.

All recordings contained on this cassette were made between 2005 and 2008, using only a Jaymar Toy Piano, and a Heintzman Upright Piano. All tracks were recorded only to cassette tape. The tracks include cassette loops made from original recordings, improvisational piano pieces, and organized pieces. In the event when electronic processing was used, cassette tape remained the single method of recording. We hope to demonstrate an admiration of experimentation through a single recording medium, and to dedicate our humble use of the piano to the American pianists of the 1920's.

Special thanks to Michael Jantz, Brad Rose, Eden Hemming, and Johnny Utterback
