Album Notes & Community Reviews
The album layers Hassell's live recordings from concerts in Milan, Montreal and Paris with studio overdubs, and Tunisian singer and oud player Dhafer Youssef is woven through its seven tracks. Across sixty two minutes the trumpet is treated and multiplied until the border between the concert hall and the studio disappears.
