Earliest of a handful of collaborations between avant-garde composer and improviser Franco Degrassi (b. 1958, Bari) and fellow Italian Gianni Lenoci (1963-2019), a jazz pianist and composer from Monopoli. The eight untitled tracks on this album credit both artists with "piano, computer, environmental sounds and acoustical instrument sounds", and after initial tracks focused on piano then concrete sounds, progress to various amalgamations of both. The piano textures and sounds of the room can be loud and grating, or richly textured and meditative, adding up to just under an hour of closely-observed possibilities in improvised sound.
