about

A collage of live studio jams over existing compositions (spring 2010), with additional (pre & post) recordings.
The "original" versions of these tracks ended up on different albums (#1 on "a moody alien in the dark", #2 on "long lost", #3 & 4 on "no evil"). These versions -forged out of mostly recorded rehearsals that were meant to lead to the formation of a live band- came out significantly altered, due to the improvisation & editing procedure involved, which became a useful guide for my following projects.

PS: This would-be band (provisionally named "mal.o") disbanded after only 3-4 rehearsals...
