Sponge
   Chris Tarry (bass and tape machine)
   Dylan van der Schaff (drums)

From a nether corner of the ambient world comes Sponge, a largely improvised and very eclectic take on the subject. The duet has conjured up a visceral sea of sound and imagination which is sometimes calming, sometimes disturbing, sometimes both at the same time. Don't mistake Sponge for another hypnotic, into-the-void wallpaper music CD.  Sponge is too emphatic and embodies a greater musical presence than most ambient releases, largely owing to van der Schyff's deep background in improvised and new musics and to Tarry's multifaceted experience across the musical spectrum.  24 minutes of live improvised electronics.

"Each of the five pieces of assertive Ambient improvisation forms a lean, concentrated soundscape. Well worth hearing." -- Julian Cowley, The Wire

"A set that can be recommended equally to hardcore devotees of Brian Eno or the cutting edge of free improv." -- David Lewis, Exclaim.
