Music & Lyrics by Hoskin & Clark

Improvised live by Hoskin & Clark with no overdubs.

The majority of the lyrical content was written and performed by Clark, with additional words by Hoskin.

Hoskin played : Drums, percussion, guitar, bass, trumpet, vocals and other stuff.

Clark played : Guitar, bass, trumpet, sax, vocals, drums and randomn noises.Recorded by Hoskin in France.

Hoskin and Clark use machine sounds, non-musical vocal techniques, physically manipulated audio media, processed sound recordings, field recordings, computer-generated noise, and other randomly generated electronic signals such as distortion , feedback, static, hiss and buzz in addition to their multi-guitar, bass and drum line-up. The emphasis is on high volume levels and long, continuous tracks. More generally, their improvisations exploit extended technique, cacophony and indeterminacy, and in many cases the unconventional use of melody, harmony, rhythm and pulsation.
