Kaffe Matthews converting live things and a theremin in Perth, Vienne, Essex, London and Quebec City, 2002, reconstructed at home. "Double CD. 106 minutes worth. Reveals a pared down aesthetic and a delicate precision. Bends, cracks and floats sounds made from a small theremin, a room and its feedback. Still working live, here we hear snips from shows in Perth, Vienna, Essex, London and Quebec City, 2002. Reconstructed at home."

"So here at last we have the fourth release from live processing queen Kaffe Matthews. A little later in the year due to a flat out tour schedule and a developing changing process as the violin has finally gone into retirement. Now she improvises with sonic snatches from the venue and around, reprocessing during the show, resampling within the space, playing inside a circle of speakers with the audience. The involvement is full on and some kind of homogenous journey apparent. Cd dd swings and rocks through sparkling territories, noisier and more rhythmic at times than previous works, but chilling to a very still place of beauty by the time we get to the third piece, the most recent work on the album which shows a marked shift in her work since the second, the final violin performance from Italy '99."

"Third CD release of location-specific Violin/DSP treatments from this highly-regarded UK sound sculptress, whose live laptop-rocking experiments parallel (predate?) Mego set activities rather closely & of course should be investigated w/the proper attention span. This CD collects live sets from Oslo, Chicago, and London recorded between 12/98 & 2/99, during which Kaffe intoned violin sonorities (& audio sourced from one microphone hidden in the establishment) into her Mac laptop running STEIM's LiSa (Live Sampling) software, effectively distorting/degrading/granulating it all beyond recognition. One of the few acoustic/electronic free-improv artists who can hold her weight in salt." -- Hrvatski.
