Following a collaboration with Alter Ego on Gavin Bryars' re-recording of The Sinking Of The Titanic in late '07, an end-of-year classical/experimental highlight, Jeck returns to solo mode, recording live sets and editing the MiniDisc'ed results, adding a dash of post-production to these seemingly semi-improvised pieces. Having now contributed a number of albums to Touch, Sand continues to patiently mix droning ambience and clacking looped-skip rhythms, all built up from scratch with old LPs played on multiple Dansette turntables and manipulated with a Casio sampling keyboard and effects.
