Liner Notes:
This album was recorded in Copenhagen where, even though none of us is actually Danish, our paths had suddenly crossed. The improvised music scene here is vibrant and ever changing, and our first meeting was a close call. Just as Aram was settling down after moving in from Oakland, California, and Grzegorz was packing down to move out to Cologne, Germany. Tomo & Hakon on the other hand, being respectively Polish and Norwegian, moved to Denmark long enough ago to be considered locals on the scene. You probably know the feeling when you meet someone and there is a connection right away? Now how likely is it, that it would happen with four people at once? Yet this is how we all felt about the music played. We instantly shared a collective intuition in how to shape the music, and how to find our individual voices in this conversation. In these first meetings, musicians have a choice: reveal yourself honestly with the hope of being accepted, or mask your individuality for the fear of rejection. We think we were honest with each other.

This record has such a magical flow to it, it seems to capture so directly the ups and downs of life, the joy of music and dance, and it's just so damn catchy and fun to listen to as well. Giles
