This is one of the early works from 1977 by improvisational guitarist Peter Cusack, best known for his work with Alterations (Steve Beresford, David Toop, and Terry Day), and who also develops solo creative works linked to the environment, field recordings, and wildlife. Side A features two improvised acoustic guitar pieces. Side B includes guitar improvisations, but also features track B1 that blends field recordings and tapes from a lake outside Utrecht, Netherlands, and creative track B2 that combines simulated bird calls of toad hawks, black-headed gulls, and oystercatchers.
Steve Beresford, David Toop, Terry DayとのAlterationsでの活動で大いに知られソロでも環境、フィールドレコーディング、野生動物などに結び付けた創作活動を展開する即興ギタリストPeter Cusackによる77年の初期作品のひとつ。A面ではアコースティックギターによる即興演奏を二曲収録。B面ではギター即興も含まれますがオランダ・ユトレヒト郊外の湖でフィールド録音やテープを織り交ぜた楽曲(B1)やスタジオでオオバシ、ユリカモメ、ミヤコドリの鳥たちの鳴き声を疑似的に制作し組み合わせた創造的な楽曲(B2)を収録。素敵なインプロ作品です。
