about

The Owl & Gaz's bass and drum riff journey full of surprises and delights continues. Recorded in 2 hours, with 2 years of post-jam work! Serious humour meets funny business. Pushing sounds and ideas to their outer limits.

It is always a major pleasure to jam with (don't kill me!) 'the small drum giant', Gaz (also of A Forest Of Stars, Darkher, Deus Vermin and a bundle of others past and present). I hope the opportunity arises to do more, even though we are in different countries now, but if it doesn't, I can definitely feel happy about our recordings and plenty of gigs in Diascorium and Narayana, plus these 2 Owl collaboration releases.

A big thank you to all who press play and let it fully unfold. This really takes its time at first, but it will take you towards very interesting and unexpected destinations if you allow it, especially the 4th track!

The visual side continued until August 27th, 2023.
