This recording is rooted in collage, cut up, and indeterminacy and draws inspiration from Dada, William Burroughs and John Cage. Much of the specific musical material was influenced by and is dedicated to Paul Motian. This music is the documentation of live performances utilizing Ableton Live, Trumpet, and effects pedals.

"...a very modern, probing player searching for new terrain on the trumpet, and he possesses a gorgeous tone and also subtle dynamics. He can be very forceful and very mellow all in one breath.-." - Roy Campbell
