The suite can be divided in five sections.
Section I (00:00-01:18) acts as a sort of intro with a doubled country style slide guitar (starting at 00:30) hidden amongst the noises.
Section II (01:18-04:34) starts with a two notes rhodes bass line, followed by a blues-harp crying (01:48), an harmonic phasing pad of synthesized strings with an accordion melody (2:03), then (2:25) electric guitar duets with the harp.
Section III (04:34-07:17) is sustained by a sections of sampled cellos and violins that creates an almost inaudible dissonant tapestry and two lightly guitars totally pan-potted playing a not-constant minimal arpeggio; a rhodes plays a free solo, gradually attracting the guitars to do the same.
Section IV (07:17-12.30) begins with almost a minute of manipulated ground noise, at 8:05 two synths lines, created with a Korg MS2000, rise; the initially sporadic sounds turn soon into two rhythmic correlated patterns (9:05) and two acid bluesy guitars start a schizophrenic talk (9:27). Slowly synths and guitars sounds more and more distant while a highly manipulated mix of both guitars emerges with spacey sonorities.
Section V (12.30) also begins with almost a minute of only noise, then (13.22) there are different analog (on cassette tape) & digital manipulations of a lo-fi recording of Les Dix-Huit Secondes improvisation rehearsals for a concert we had at Art In Town in Torino. Beyond the tricks (speed changings / hard pan movements / distant moments of the improvisation mixed at the same time / loops), our live instrumentation and impro style, also some of our typical themes, emerge clearly. This section can be divided into 5 parts: I (12.30-13.22), II (13.22-15:10), III (15.10-20.14), IV (20.14-22:10), V (22:10-24:06).
