The five tracks is the outcome of a spontaneous and completely unrehearsed recording session in New York’s Dolan Studio. The clear structure and logical development and conclusion to each track testifies to Lars Graugaard and Jean-Michel Pilc’s high level of artistry, flexibility and exquisite control of their means.

This is also apparent in the intense interplay where the super-sensitive nature of the interactive realtime computer is effortlessly met by the acoustic piano. Mostly energetic and looking for the groove, there are also wavering moments of delicate soul-searching. The result is an engaging combination of a rich take on street-smart electronic styles in with some truly virtuoso piano playing.
