In this piece by Roger Dean the saxophonists improvise freely,
while their sounds are recorded by the two computer players and subsequently
manipulated.
Material which has been recorded can be processed and re-presented between
20 and 180 seconds after it was first played. The two computer players each
process
one saxophone stream, and a wide variety of transformation techniques are used.
A few additional computer generated components are included, and the live performance
was later slightly remixed.
