about

Orginaly released on CD-R (18 copies) by Arachnidiscs Recordings (RIP) in June 2019

This album was recorded over two long sessions in the summer of 2016 in a basement jam space turned sauna while using sub-par gear.
As happy as we are putting this out, this is a project that started and ended 3 years ago (except for the ringing… It will resonate forever).

"This recording is of a free improvisation session of a quasi-anonymous quartet of Montreal. A Half with Tinnitus is a strange but fascinating effort full of seemingly nonsensical musical meanderings and complete player synergy. Everyone on board overflows with creativity regarding their respective instrument: saxophone, trumpet, percussion, and electronics all have a designated place and role and they play it to the perfection. A stellar album!"
