Infinite Coastline

UP2: Infinite Coastline

The result of an intensely beautiful weekend visit by James Webb and Derek Gripper. While Derek read Nietzsche, I think, and lectured wonderfully in the evenings, James and I transported ourselves in electrical explorations - just listening to what was happening while we were allowing sounds to form and join, without too much talking.
The mutual openness to creating music - basically not caring for anything musicians all too often get very precious about: style, harmony, melody, rhythm, forms, clichées etc. - was very intense, like entering a minefield of personal preoccupations, as well as reviving: a private mind, innocent to judgement.

The lovely cover by nurse!designs features a signal path diagram for those listeners interested in how all the layers of sound were actually played live.
