This recording consists of the live improvised responses of the members of Phantom City to a series of directions both verbal and musical (sonic interjections during the performance) and to a pre-prepared rhythm track which had only been heard previously by myself and Dirk. The 24-track recording was then transferred entirely to hard disk, stripped of overspill, edited minimally and mixed down. I had originally intended to edit and process the final mix heavily but the spontaneous chemistry of these performances has yielded a feel which I could never hope to achieve by manipulations of raw sound.
