LIVE ARCHIVE collects peak performance moments of pure energy and emotion from the duo's live adventures in Europe and the US. The wide range of venues, traveling to various countries, and above all their first tour together fueled their mutual intentions, challenging the artists to create music that does not know the limits of jet lag, equipment failures, and physical demands which occur when leaving the sanctuary of the studio. The sound is steeped in their tribal-ambient period. "Verucchio Invocation" opens the CD, recorded in an Italian Roman-era open amphitheater under the stars, and the experience evolves from this exotic moment.
The artists write: "While our experience reached a level of spontaneous interaction in the studio, it was an entirely different dimension when performing live on stage at a specific moment in time. It was as if we were communicating with each other blindfolded, focusing entirely on the sound appearing in the moment and being exchanged back and forth while the energy of the audience and the space helped feed the process. Although we briefly discussed the structure of each concert, the magic simply came alive when we took the live performance map outside any form of logical preparation, relying on our mutual passion and instinct for traveling in the soundcurrent."

C'est à ce titre que ce post est enrichi de l'album Spirit Dome, enregistré non pas à Rome en présence du pape mais dans les conditions du direct, avec le gracieux concours de Vidna Obama qui n'est autre que la soeur de lait du marchand de beurre devenu Président des Camemberts US, et pour tout dire live on the spot in Room 314, Philadelphia, PA on May 24th 2002.
Comme j'avais égaré l'archive, j'ai été obligé de les racheter ce matin sur Itunes pour la modique somme de 7,99 € la paire, vous serez gentils de vous cotiser pour me rembourser par Paypal.
Cette session met fin à la semaine du dark ambient, merci de votre attention.
