about

Way back in the early days we had the idea of performing as Alto Stratus live in concert, but it never happened as never did we expect to find a venue willing to put on such weird music.

Eventually, we tested the idea as small slots at Endgame gigs. With Jim away in Australia it seemed a good idea to split our "Improv Electronic" sets into our two other active projects: Alto Stratus and Triax. This disc documents material from two such gigs in 2007, plus a third event that was billed as a "solos night" - which actually turned into a solos, duos, plus a big jam at the end night! Our solos and duo as Alto Stratus are included here, for a great value 79+ minute disc.

The other stuff turned out as the phenomenal 2CD set "Impromptu Electronic - Live @ Bambu" which is a must hear!
