Each of the two pieces on the album tells a story --- a mysterious, cryptic story embedded in a sea of trance-provoking, thought-inducing music. Meditation rock. Americana with a twist.

Axel Mundi, a veteran of the Seventies literary counterculture and survivor of the Nineties Seattle Music Scene, is a genre-free sound artist working from his home studio on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington State. In the early 1970s, in Salt Lake City, he co-founded Babylon Theatre, an audio dramatic collective that performed at literary events in the underground poetry scene, and recorded unique improvised word-plays. In the 1980s, in Seattle, he took his bass clarinet and developed a style of drone trance music influenced by his study of meditation and of ancient music traditions. This led directly, in the 1990s, to his helping found the trance-rock trio, Diamond Fist Werny. In the new century, Axel Mundi is back to his original instrument, the sound recorder. Starting in the 1960s with reel-to-reel tape, now in the 2000s with digital hard-disks, the microphone is still his basic interface between vocal/instrumental sounds and the recorded medium.
