Bio / Background

There’s not much to say. One sunny afternoon in California two people came together in a small room in Rocklin, a suburb of Sacramento, and started playing music. A few hours later they stopped, one of them to welcome his wife home from her day of work, the other to retrieve his girlfriend from her mother’s house and make the drive back to the Bay Area.

But what is revealed on tape from those few hours is simply remarkable: a musical landscape that is intense, searching, and emotionally resonant in ways that are unexpected and relevatory.

One of the two, Tom Carter, has spent his entire career in the world of improvisational music, with his regular group Charalambides, as a solo performer, and as a member of various other groups devoted to free improvisation and psych-folk.
