Second album by the Stahlstuhl project, with guest musician Andrea Pandolfo on trumpet.

This record explores the sonic possibilities given by the interaction between the two acoustic instruments : the trumpet and the chair.
The live electronics allows for an increase of overall density, and adds a third element of interaction.

The performance is entirely improvised, following a preordered rough scheme, whose goal was to formalize the main sections of the piece.

The division in three parts is only meant to allow for a freer fruition of the album : as far as the performance is concerned, it is a continuous stream of musical ideas.

One of those records that could’ve been a curio but ends up being better than it should be. FFO scrapy improv and submerged textural electronics. Big up Stahlstuhl Freq.org.uk
