Recorded at Artisten Academy of Music and Drama at University of Gothenburg, October 4 & 5, 2007 by Erik Jeppsson.
"Beam Stone was founded a year before this October 2007 recording. The trio consists of three free improvisers, each with a distinctive personal sound. Their aim with Beam Stone is to explore sonic territories with the guidance of different pre-defined concepts. Listening and sonic exploration are considered the essential points of departure.
The resulting music shows influences from genres as different as electroacoustic music, free improvisation, noise, ambient and contemporary art music, but is essentially original. All kinds of sounds, "musical" and "non-musical" are used under the motto: each sound has its own narrative! The sounds will then be treated, kneaded and developed acoustically and electronically during the course of a performance."-from the liner notes
