A collection of 33 collage works created during 2020 and early 2021, featuring original contributions from 69 different collaborators representing 9 different countries. All of the contributions were then used as source material for a series of collages conceptualized, constructed, mixed and composed by Rambutan (Eric Hardiman). "The project was borne out of a desire to fend off the creeping dread of the pandemic. It allowed me to transcend the frustrations of social isolation and realize the dream of collaborating with friends, acquaintances, and musical heroes from across the globe. I imagine each track as being the result of a unique "group" of musicians, and pictured the various contributors working together as the tracks emerged. Each "system" exists in its own sound world. Although many of the sounds have been edited, excerpted, mangled and otherwise manipulated, my goal was to let the musical DNA and personality of each person involved be represented."

Deep, mind-bending psych. I don't know how it was put together, but it feels very organic, like early Nurse With Wound. I could see Gordon, Dilloway, and Nace sitting among a pile of junk and miles of tape, splicing together this album piece by piece. Levrikon
