Rob and I hadn't played together for 30 years. We decided to meet at Brian Brown studio. Pat Telfer set up a mic for Rob's Saxello and we placed a Rhodes and a Celeste in a "V" shape for me. I played with one hand on the Celeste and one on the Rhodes, lights off. Rob was peaceful and present.

The first notes you hear are the first notes we played, and we followed what came to light for 80 minutes. Then we went home.

We came back two weeks later and overdubbed percussion. Junko painted and played percussion intermittently too. That's how the cover art was born; between playing percussion and painting what she heard. It was a spontaneous meditation all around. The songs were created inside an evening. We didn't speak about what we were going to do or when we were going to start or stop. We hope you enjoy hearing it because we certainly enjoyed making it...

..."wait without hope For hope would be hope for the wrong thing;
wait without love, For love would be love of the wrong thing;
there is yet faith But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing".

-- T. S. Eliot
