Our regular readers/listeners will probably like this even less than the Cecil Taylor, but that’s OK with me. It’s my first released recording, and I have a certain nostalgic feeling for Gunter, who helped introduce me to free jazz.

And, unusual as the sonics are, I like them too. The radio booth we recorded in was less than 20′x30′, low ceilings, only a little baffling on the walls. The tape machine was an Ampex two track, and the board only had hard left, right, and center inputs, no echo. The mikes were classic RCA ribbons. Somehow, with this music, it all sounds right. To me.
