about

Just another completely unaccompanied fully improvised electric mandolin recording....

Touching upon shades of gamelan music, slide-blues-punk, a whiff of Derek Bailey and the continuation of Mandolin Noise Vol.1.

Makes use of mallets, rulers and a steel slide.

Recorded on the 7th of April 2022 in 5 takes between 19:34-20:04. I think I had Tofu for breakfast and likely no lunch...

Recordings are presented in non-chronological order.
