about

Mash-ups by Steve Layton, of tracks contributed by musicians worldwide during the weekly online event known as ImprovFriday (www.improvfriday.com). On this particular release, each track was personally chosen as a favorite by an ImprovFriday musician whose work appears on that track.

Virtually all of the original tracks that make up the threads of these mash-ups were conceived and recorded with no knowledge of what the other musicians might be making and sharing. To keep the freshness and surprise, each mash-up was made using only the tracks shared during that particular two-day event. For the most part, very little processing (other than EQ, reverbs and fades) was used during the mash/mix procedure; the tracks are mostly just laid down next to each other and allowed to unfold and intertwine.

Featured musicians: Jérôme Poirier (France), Paul Hertz (Iowa), Benjamin Smith (New Jersey), Roger Sundström (Sweden), Peter Thörn (Sweden), Paul Muller (California), Kavin Allenson (Texas), Shane Cadman (California), Jeff Duke (Florida), Norbert Oldani (New York), Chris Vaisvil (Indiana), Jude Cowan (England), Steve Moyes (England), Diego Monroy (Spain), Jim Goodin (New York), Steve Moshier (California), Steve Layton (Texas), Bruce Hamilton (Washington), Richard Sanderson (England), Fabio Keiner (Austria), Gary Hall (Thailand).
