16:30 For Doug Haire

Overview

16:30 For Doug Haire --- 2008

"This recording of the animist orchestra improvising was made in Seattle at the Good Shepherd Centre, in what was originally a Chapel – a large high-ceilinged room with hardwood floors and large windows on two sides. We set up in a semi-circle around Doug’s microphones, as he was recording us for his “sonarchy” radio show. This short improvisation was to be used as filler, since the show is an hour long and we didn’t know exactly how long we’d play for. We actually tried two “takes”, and this is the second one. The loud boom and bang noises are courtesy of Microsoft, who were celebrating the launch of their new operating system."
