These are not cover tunes. They are free improvisations, recorded after listening to tunes by some favorite artists. In a way, they are commentaries on these classic tunes we listened to and have loved for many years. The live guitar duo improvisations are not intended to resemble the original tunes.
Rat-drifting music searches for specificity, celebrates detail. It experiments with radical particularity and wonders about the possibilities and potentials of those experiments. If the music drifts, it does so in the hopes that the listener drifts with it—her/his imagination experimenting with the possibilities of the music as well, as they find their own route through their own experience.
