Doug Theriault has been involved in improvised music for over the last 20 years.  He has written improvised music for and played with many of the major improvisers of the Jazz Underground.   Some of these players include Davey Williams, LaDonna Smith, Gino Robair, The Sun Ra Orchestra, Toshi Makihara, Jeph Jerman, Wally Shoup, Fred Longberg-Holm.  One of his main projects has been the group Office Products which has been on may international compilations.  He is also one of the main organizers for Improvised Music in the Northwest.

As Theriault says about this recording, "I think this is some of my best (recorded) guitar work.  This work has David Chandler on electronic percussion and me on guitar.  For this recording, David had his drum pad hooked up to a separate drum machine and adjusted the samples and levels with his feet.   He also controlled external effects via MIDI with his hands and feet.  We go into many unexpected directions, even getting quite musical in places."

"Sounds like Ikue Mori and Derek Bailey going several steps further.  Excellent recording." -- John Zorn
