This masterful collaboration brings together AMM founding guitarist Keith Rowe with American experimental composer Michael Pisaro-Liu. The tracking documents extremely subtle electroacoustic improvisations, utilizing tabletop guitar techniques, sine waves, and profound stretches of silence. The compositions focus entirely on the microscopic details of sound and space, serving as a landmark in the modern reductionist free improvisation movement.
