Zodra de naam Philippe Petit opduikt, mag je de oren spitsen. Zeker als je voor de meer avontuurlijke muziek gaat. Dat geldt niet eens alleen voor zijn eigen muziek of die hij maakt met Strings Of Consciousness of zijn bevriende artiesten, waaronder K11, Lydia Lunch, Cosey Fanni Tuti, Cindytalk, PAS, Ron Anderson, Robert L. Pepper, …

Nice piece of voice-with-electronics improvisation by Sun Dog, the team of ErikM and Isabelle Duthoit.
