"I met Dali the first time back in 2019, when I performed at Bristol's Cube Cinema. The local promoter had this idea of having a few musicians to play with me live, and Dali was one of them. I loved that show and we stayed in touch, until i pass by Bristol again, this time in april 2013. The day after my live cinéma at the fabulous Strange Brew venue, we decided to set up a little recording in the Crofters Rights bar. Not much prepared, as usual, we went into a sonic sequence of around 30min, merging songs from the violent Harrga project to some free, delicate improvisation, and including as well the poem Spleen by Baudelaire. We played with the limits of the set-up, the limits of the lights, the limits of exhaustion. Limits can be magical right?
