‘At their most reserved, the trio waxes bittersweet on the gorgeous “Miniature” and the haunting title track with euphonious delicacy. Conversely, “Nothingness First Part I, Nothingness” and “Hymn” are ablaze with raucous vigor, while “When You Ask Why” merges these disparate worlds, gradually increasing in intensity from supple acoustic meditation to roiling electric tempest. Responsible for the majority of the session’s most explosive statements, guitarist Mike Outram has been favorably compared to a restrained Allan Holdsworth. Tempering blistering fret-board histrionics with contemplative lyricism, his soaring, wah-wah fueled excursions transcend conventional virtuosity, transforming minor thematic variations into epic meditations.’, Troy Collins All About Jazz.

I use 10's. No, 11's. No, 12's. What strings do you use? Why and When? What picks do you use? I use an angel's tear. What are your amp settings? Why and When? Have you ever spent time in a Turkish prison? What is the fastest single note in the world? How long is Jazz? Can a guitar ever sound like breath? Can you use dust in a musical way? Can a plum floating in perfume replicate the number 3?
