Recorded by Christian Kobi during the COVID-19 lock-down in June 2020. As an academic he takes on a serious duty of exploring nuances of silence, interaction and the spatial aspects which we can hear here on this collection that he recorded with different musicians. A field recording not in principle but in real time and a great improvisations that have the weight of true exploratory spirit and lively interaction between the musicians. It's a great handbook of how musical, experimental improvisation should sound like and have something more to offer.
