Artist History This was a one-time collaboration produced in 1990 by Eric Siegel. It was recorded using an eight track Otari at 15 IPS and a Soundcraft mixer. The stereo synthesizer tracks were printed on tracks 6 and 7 of the Otari, and played through speakers facing the audience. The musicians responded to the recorded music (in some cases the pieces were notated, in others, just open-ended). Their responses were recorded to tracks 1-5. The pieces were mixed to DAT.

Group Members At the time of this recording, Eric Siegel was composing and producingcommercial as well as experimental music. Dave Douglas is one of the most well regarded and respected trumpeter composers in the jazz/improvisational music world. At the time of this recording he was beginning to make a name for himself in NYC clubs, and playing in the subway Gerry Hemmingway is a drummer well known for his collaborations with Marilyn Crispell and Anthony Braxton. Mark Whitecage has been playing with Anthony Braxton and many other improvisational musicians (I think I saw recently that he's been playing with Joe Morris) Cooper Moore is a pianist who is now playing with William Parker and Suzy Ibarra. When I met him, he was playing a home made zither on the street, and he brought a bass version of that zither to this performance.

Press Reviews Eric's work has been reviewed positively in Keyboard Magazine
