One of them was Beth Custer, a connection that Stephen cultivated. We jammed, then we found John Loose. We played as a trio for two or three occasions. Then we invited Kenneth down and in april 1992, we took a portable recording studio up to the wine country and recorded a tape of our improvisations. Trance Music wasn't really the invention of anyone of us, but the act of meeting of four people and a few satellite musicians.
Music is created by consensus.
Tassano was called in to produce the second album and the difference is quite striking, and it has very much to do with how we operated in the studio. The first album was about the acoustic interactions that we were perfecting in the context of a small environment. Because we're all very busy with many projects and because we have our private lives and because Kenneth is not living in the area, it seems that this will be our preferred way of working for a while. We seed ideas and arrangements to take into the studio. We don't take a composed work in the studio.
