Notes About the CD

Jules and I have been playing wildly creative music together in duo and other formats since 1977. Incredibly, we have never before recorded a duo project - a longstanding oversight that I am glad to finally correct with this release. - Scott Robinson

Jules and Scott gave me a night of music I'll never forget. It was abstract, but at the same time felt utterly composed... changing from moving harmony and melodies to ephemeral sound sculptures. I was blown away... I couldn't tell who was leading and who was following, and I'd bet they couldn't either. This is music not to be missed. Who needs a composer with two masterful and connected individuals such as this? - Grammy-winning composer Maria Schneider

"This CD is so amazing... what a wonderful idea!" - Roscoe Mitchell

How To Use This CD

Years of planning and effort have gone into the production of this ScienSonic recording. Science and Sound have been skillfully brought together by our team of experts to craft a unique listening experience. We at ScienSonic Laboratories think of this CD as more than just an audio document. To us, it is also a means of transportation, and we want you, our valued listener, to have as transporting an experience as possible. With that in mind, we provide a few helpful guidelines for its optimal use:

-- Use of this CD in the stereo system of a moving vehicle is not recommended, as this can be detrimental both to the auditory experience and to vehicular safety.

-- This recording is best listened to in a quiet, distraction-free environment, free from other activities or tasks, through high-quality stereo speakers or headphones. Complete concentration will yield best results.

-- We respectfully suggest that the listener experience each entire disc from beginning to end without interruption, as great care has been taken to ensure that the programming provides an optimal listening experience.

-- The high-quality artwork accompanying all ScienSonic releases has been carefully selected for its beneficial effects upon the imagination. Keep it handy when listening!

-- Our ScienSonic products have been carefully designed with you, the creative and adventurous listener, in mind. Anyone can be a creative listener! All that is required is a healthy imagination and a willingness to let this music guide you wherever both you and it seem inclined to go. Concern for such categorical distinctions as "music/non-music", "tonal/non-tonal", etc., would likely hinder this process.

-- After listening, a brief "cooling down" period, free of strenuous activity such as operating heavy machinery, is suggested.

-- Repeat listenings are encouraged. Listeners are kindly invited to share their experiences with us at: www.sciensonic.net

We at ScienSonic Research Laboratories hold our adventurous and high-spirited listeners in high esteem, and we humbly thank you for your interest in our work. Please "keep an ear out" for our future endeavors which will include many exciting and far-reaching projects. Thank you, be safe, and have a good trip!
