in August 2007 (2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10) at Heatherlands, Parkstone, in September 2019 (1, 5 & 9) at Brook House, Bavaria and in November 2023 (11) live in concert at Guter Hirte Church, Altötting.
Tracks 1, 5 and 9 are freely improvised pieces recorded during the first meeting of Cathy, Brigitte & Udo in the autumn of 2019.
Track 1 is an extract of the first thing they ever played together, track 5 & 9 are complete, unedited performances, as they were played on the day.

Approach
We have aimed to keep the spirit of this album as close to live performance as possible. All recordings are single-take performances with only minimal necessary repairs in two places. No digital editing, nor auto-tune were used in the production process.
