Release Notes:
This meeting with Fred Frith was a jubilation from
start to finish. One of those precious moments
where trust rules and energy flows. We had never
played together, but it was bound to happen. The
initial impetus for this duo came from a Carte
blanche offered by Pierre Dumont of the Festival
des musiques de creation in Saguenay. To me, it
seemed appropriate to honor that Carte blanche with
this project with Fred. And as long as we were
dragging him to Quebec, we had to take the
opportunity to present this rare duo in Montreal,
at La Sala Rossa. This CD is not the faithful
reproduction of one of these concerts, but a
collage featuring highlights from both evenings.
Fred and I have mixed and edited separately, from
the live recordings. I have worked from a
superimposition of the two concerts, while Fred
worked on stripping them down. Since I did not have
the distance necessary to make the final editing
decisions, I asked DAME label's honcho (and my dear
friend and super-colleague) Joane Hetu to bring the
CD project to a close. So here you have a work of
excellent audio quality that faithfully
communicates the energy and telepathy Fred and I
experienced together.
