What their label says...

Nest is a moebius strip consisting of NZers Andrew Scott (mostly guitar) and Nigel Wright (mostly laptop). Scott plays guitar which Wright uses as raw material for creating real-time sound environments in which the guitar can move, the chosen path of the guitar laying the groundwork for the next sonic environment created by the computer to which the guitar reacts to in turn. Hence Nest attempts to circumvent traditional modes of improvisation, by creating a human feedback loop in which the players play not so much their instruments, but rather each other – a loop which finds the players relating not TO each other, but rather THROUGH each other. Ever inwards. Nest is concerned with principals of balance and dissolution of the individual ego. Nest attempts to work as a unified organism, dissolving the contributions of the individual into an amorphous evolving sound object. Nest sets processes in motion and lets them run their course. Nest trusts sound completely.

Nest has previously self-released collaborations with MHFS and Tim Coster in small CDR editions. This LP is their first release as an unaccompanied duo. Wright lives in Auckland, New Zealand where he performs solo and in the duo Cathedrals (with Tim Coster). Scott currently resides in Los Angeles, California where he works in the duo Metal Rouge with Helga Fassonaki. He works solo under the name Un Ciego and in the duos Golden Krone (with Rohan Evans) and Huzun (with Tim Coster).
