‘for many, the improvised musical performance serves to create- in the midst of hierarchical social relations- a utopian space, a genuinely democratic realm full of cooperation, coexistence, and intersubjective exchange. Without established musical or social props, everything is held together by these intersubjective relationships that are as strong and as fragile as a spider’s web, and, as such, constantly under construction and repair’ (Christoph Cox and Daniel Warner, Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music, p.251-252).

We’re optimistic, however, that this year will shine a little brighter. We’re going to put out a steady stream of releases through this site: these will be sessions with varying line-ups captured using one or two mics and given little studio treatment. They’ll be available on a creative commons license for free download (donations gratefully received) or on made-to-order CD-Rs and tapes.
