Seltsam fragmentierte, hell schimmernde Einheiten von Sound bewegen sich hier wie in einem farbigen Meer auf und ab, warm und obskure digitale Verwirr-Musik, die eine besondere / andersartige Schönheit ausstrahlt...
Strangely fragmented, light shimmering patterns of sound move here up and down like in a colourful ocean, warm and obscure music that evokes a very special / different beauty..
“.... You can trace each artist's solo approach to performance in their respective live sets, and hear how those methods, sounds, and processes blend together within the studio improvisations. The collaboration is a hybrid of Deupree's keen timing and sensitivity to the microprocessing of sounds, and Willits' folded guitar playing and flowing harmonic sensibilities. The CD drifts into new sonic territory for both artists, and establishes a foundation for Willits' new melodic arrangements and Deupree's growing interest in live instrumentation.
BIOS : CHRISTOPHER WILLITS (US) : Christopher Willits is a musician, multimedia artist and sound engineer located in San Francisco. His musical focus is characterized by guitar + computer software processing and improvisation that generates a unique folded and woven surface of melody and rhythm. In late 2002 12k released "Folding, and the Tea", the first widely distributed release of Willits' folded guitar recordings. Willits studied Electronic Music and Recording Media at Mills College, and he instructs Sound Design and Electronic Music courses at the San Francisco Art Institute, Vista College, and The Bay Area Video Coalition.

Besides releasing music on 12k Taylor records for a number of other labels including ritornell/mille plateaux, raster music (germany), fällt (ireland), and audio.nl (netherlands). In addition, since 1992, he has recorded albums for instinct records, caipirinha music, plastic city (usa), disko b (germany), and dum (finland), sub rosa (belgium) among others...” [from the press release]
