Comments: Recorded “Live” at the Sonic Arts Gallery in San Diego, CA on November 11, 1994. The gallery was a hangout for the “microtonalists” in the area and featured many wonderful instruments of this genre to experience firsthand. As I recall the second number of the evening”The Wall of Ninths” was by far and away the crowd favorite for the night. I believe with the exception of a booming bass synthesizer passage (foul by Helm) the entire evening is captured here. A good example of what this band was about, with a special nod to their “lumpy” past with “All For Knot” featuring a guitar duet in New Standard Tuning. Carefully recorded and mastered to disc by Dave Stafford. Thanks to Jonathan Glasier at the Sonic.
