Plus One by Memory Wire
Plus One - the one with a different guest on each track.
Memory Wire plus alternating guests on an album of drifting cosmic ambience. Each guest approaches their role in a different way but there is a haunting atmosphere that flows through the album.
Background
Quadelectronic events that Chris & Jim organise puts randomly drawn groups together to play for a 7minute piece. Sometimes the group chosen has been Memory Wire duo plus one other. So this is a selection of the best live pieces played with a different guest.
Track 6 Homecoming Ritual is different however as this was recorded at Victoria Bourne's studio and follows a graphic score devised by Chris Conway involving different sections of solo and collective improvisation with choral signals marking each section.
