december 2010, we were all in Xanthi for Nicolas Malevitsis' "bye-bye butterfly" festival (aka: the closing down of all absurd operations), where I was to collaborate with none other than legendary swedish artist Leif Elggren. As usual, I had very few ideas on how our collaboration could turn out, only thing I knew was that Leif was only going to be reading from his texts and I would have to fill in the rest of the sounds. I guess lack of preconceptions helped in getting both our minds and spirits at the same place by the time of the actual performance, and the result was this powerfull 14 minutes of music that you can now find pressed to vinyl. Thanks to Leif & Nicolas for pushing the release forward.

I have few copies now myself, but you're better off getting it from Firework Edition Records or select distributors wwide
