about

This is a collaborative mini-album which was composed in ancient times, at the dawn of a new millennium, in the years 2001 and 2002 by Scanner (London) and Nightswimmer (Melbourne). The process managed to dodge all technical restraints and traverse the tyranny of distance by launching CDRS packed with sounds onto giant floating ships across turbid oceans, like silent, lost digital messages bouncing and bobbing back and forth on the tides, from Melbourne to London and back until finally uniting into a sometimes cohesive, sometimes dissonant, sometimes beautiful, sometimes haunting, collaboration.
