LINER NOTES by Barry Guy

It was at Ramón Lopez’ suggestion that we record as a duo in the downtime of another studio session, and perhaps it was his constellation of drums and cymbals that prompted the thought of a metaphorical planetary system. So SIDEREUS NUNCIUS The Starry Messenger the title of Galileo Galilei’s short astronomical treatise published in early 1610, did not necessarily stretch the imagination unduly - there it was in front of me !

Galilei’s telescopic observations of the moon and other celestial bodies for the first time illuminated details of planets near and far in our solar system. In a not dissimilar way, the studio microphones act like a telescope, bringing details of our own musical cosmos into sharp definition, illuminating the sometimes craggy terrain of our deliberations, but also observing the more spacious musical topography.
