Announcing of invitation principles.
Earlier this year, Ross asked Andrew to edit his solo record for him. He sent over a lot of files, some DIY circuit bent improvising, some tape stuff, recordings of rugby club toilets, overt dregs of blank weather, streams, train stations, drones, all kinds of audio gunk & goof that he was supposed to edit into some kind of shape. Lasting streaks of veer.

At the same time, he had a plan since last year to make a collage record with Siggtrygur Berg Sigmarsson, who sent over a lot of vocal improvisations and audio glitches. Sudden guest. Tongues well and truly bit.

These two folders were sitting next to each other on his desktop for a month, and mysteriously they began to leak into each other. When is a door not a jar? When it's a door. So it has ended up being a trio record, preserving the integrity of the original material as well as being fairly freehand, with a casual and light quality. Today ear. Tomorrow gone. Play by it.

A chance meeting that was perhaps inevitable.

"... when you listen to an album three times and still can't anticipate upcoming events and also don't know how to describe it, someone's doing something right. Three people are, actually. This thing is f'n excellent, whatever it is. Ross Scott-Buccleuch + Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson + Andrew Sharpley "Ghost of Dada" CDR on Chocolate Monk, the natural home for singular weirdo music like this.... as somebody once said: this one comes highly recommended."
