about

live generative ambient created by selecting tones and using two loopers, a pitch shifter, a wah and two delay pedals at random. no mixing has been performed on these tracks.

acarus: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Crosse#Controversy
A few months after the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science Crosse was conducting another electrocrystallization experiment when, on the 26th day of the experiment, he saw what he described as "the perfect insect, standing erect on a few bristles which formed its tail". More creatures appeared and two days later they began moving their legs. Over the next few weeks hundreds more appeared. They crawled around the table and hid themselves wherever they could find shelter. Crosse identified them as being members of the genus Acarus.

Puzzled, Crosse mentioned the incident to a couple of friends.[2] A local newspaper learned of the incident and published an article about the "extraordinary experiment," naming the insects Acarus crossii. The article was subsequently picked up by other newspapers across the country and elsewhere in Europe. Some readers apparently gained the impression that Crosse had somehow "created" the insects, or at least claimed to have done so. He received angry letters in which he was accused of blasphemy and trying to take God's place as a creator. Some of them included death threats.

Damn! I love everything that ACB puts out. But this is seriously good—and I expect that I’ll listen to it a lot. I think that the rehearsal context gives the tracks that I already knew a really unique and interesting atmosphere. And I’m here for it. b
