Blows by )-(u||!c|< /// OTOMO YOSHIHIDE
This album features all the music that )-(u||!c|< and OTOMO YOSHIHIDE have ever played together as a duo: electric guitar vs prepared piano.
At times it sounds like the two musicians are coming to blows; at other times it sounds as if each instrument is blending into the other.
Significantly tracks are here presented in the order that they were recorded.
In the recording sessions, the was no plan about what to play. The musicians made sounds and responded, mostly with empty minds.
Therefore there is little that can be said by the musicians about this recording.
It exists.

From the outside looking in, James Hullick's creativity seems boundless, manifesting sound worlds from inventive machines, art music, rock, electronics, acoustic instrumention, found objects, the human voice, sonic ensembles and the uncanny mergings of these things.
“Hullick is a social critic. He holds his people and the world of sound up to a mirror” (Reutlingen Press, Germany.)
