about

One brisk January afternoon some time ago [2003!], four friends gathered together with the intent of capturing some of the sonic magic that had resulted from previous informal get-togethers. With no rehearsals, one ratty distortion pedal, one or two premeditated musical ideas, two double basses, and an array of percussion instruments, they set up the mics and pressed “Record”. The music was literally pulled from the air, sometimes old and ancient, while at other times modern, edgy. Encompassing a broad expanse of time, space, and emotion, this music travels, goes places, to the various corners of the world, music of peace, warmth, unrest, solitude, frenzy, friendship, often playful, while at other times seeking, unsettled. These seven songs appear in the order they were recorded live that January afternoon. Almost lost to the dustbin of history, this album -- the result of their very first recording session -- reveals the very essence of this group of musicians otherwise known as Gunnelpumpers.
