A major collaborative work arrives from BALMAT, the Spain-based label specializing in new age/ambient! Centered on Virginia contemporary composer STEPHEN VITIELLO — known for his joint works with heavyweights such as Ryuichi Sakamoto — this trio project also brings in FUGAZI drummer BRENDAN CANTY and violinist HAHN ROWE (also active as SOMATIC). ANIMAL COLLECTIVE's GEOLOGIST, who happened to be in the studio, joins on hurdy-gurdy as well: an astonishing lineup.

Another lavish project from BALMAT, the label that has also featured µ-ziq, MINOR SCIENCE and NICK LEÓN! Conceived by STEPHEN VITIELLO, a key figure in the US experimental sound art field who is also celebrated as a visual artist. It ranges from the ambient-leaning territory the label has pursued, to improvised band sessions absorbing krautrock, introspective post-rock-minded dub, and string drones using hurdy-gurdy and 12-string guitar. Three different schools — "sound art, art rock, and punk rock" — interact here, zigzagging forward beyond genre boundaries. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
