Only a few copies left! Please note there is some minor fading visible here and there on the cardboard sleeve.

Formed in Feb 2006 by Danny McCarthy and Mick O'Shea, they have met with considerable success and became recognised as one of Ireland's leading sound art improvisation groups. Employing a wide range of sound making devices, ranging from stones, home made instruments, electronics, amplified textures, oscilloscopes, theremins, field recordings etc., they continue to push the boundaries of sound making and listening.

They have toured extensively in Ireland and have played at festivals in UK, Germany, Poland, Canada, China, USA and Japan. They have also appeared at the Shanghai World Expo, Static (Liverpool) and I & E Festival (Dublin), Hilltown New Music Festival (Westmeath), Mobius (Boston) and Harvestworks (New York), and Black Iris Gallery, Richmond, Virginia. They frequently play together with guests, which in the past have included Mark Wastell, Stephen Vitiello, Mel Mercier, David Stalling, Anthony Kelly, Steve Roden, Jed Speare, John Godfrey, Harry Moore, Iarla O’Lionard, David Toop, and many others.
