Trip Lava - Octatroid

This album started out with a series of circular improvisations, containing acoustic drums, electric guitar and bass (prepared and unprepared) and either backround sound effects or keyboard textures. Sections of these improvs were cut up and arranged with segues to tie them all together. After listening to the results, it was decided that a sci-fi storyline would fit in with the music and sounds. The CD insert will explain the story as the album tracks move by.
