about

This is the 3rd album of an electric guitar duo by Jean-François Pauvros and Kawabata Makoto.
We played totally improvised with 6 amps (2 x Marshall JCM-900 + speaker cabinet, 2 x Fender Twin Reverb, 2 x bass amp), the dynamic range was micro like almost silence to macro like wall of noise.
When we headlined a festival in France, we were the loudest in all artists even there were many heavy metal bands!
We called our music "guitar symphony", coz we've tried to play like a symphony by only 2 electric guitars.
When we met first time at the recording studio in Paris in November 1999, we surprised and sympathized each others. Because We saw other bows! We didn't know we played "bowed guitar" each others before. Since then we have played many shows in Europe and Japan. Unfortunately our latest shows in May 2020 were cancelled by covid19.

The original CD was released by Prele in 2005. The 12 pages photo booked was included. (all photos by JF and Kawabata.)
