about

Previously unreleased - intention never realised - til now.
A journey of sorts -- from hammered, bowed, and plucked Trés, through a pure acoustic improvisation, a long-form ode to that disconnected, somnambulant jet-lag state with voice, ending with prepared acoustic guitars, bowls and bells.
