about

This is a series of duets between a Hohner Guitaret and an Ambira, in the form of lopsided waltzes, set to the rhythm of cars going over the Leningradskiy Bridge in Omsk.
The ambira was inventend by Caleb Schiepert, a new kind of kalimba that offers completely new tonal possibilities, and sounds magical.I play a special 19-note version that has leading notes and repeated pitches.

Brother P will know the inspiration for the waltzes, and the track is especially for him, in thanks for his decades of encouragement.

The field recordings are by Freesound users zabuhailo, juskiddink and inchadney; my thanks for their patience and generoisty in making and preparing and uploading these fascinating recordings.

The pieces are all pataphysical book reviews. They consist of musical essays on books of the same title that haven't been written, but should have.
