This track was recorded live at Kelly's in Leamington circa late 2001
Previously unreleased
The Jon Paul SETI Project came about because of of a love of improvising and a love of electronics and orchestration and not being limited to the 'standard sound of the instrument'. Paul was a very capable musician and not just a drummer his musical and technical knowledge was vast which made using effects, synthesisers and treating the sounds that they created as all part of the fun. Bungle has very fond memories of the Peace Festival where they finished the set off (and the Sunday lineup), all of them having carefully looped themselves and then walked offstage - the sound engineers face was an absolute picture with this 'band' still playing. He doesn't think the Peace Festival has experienced anything like that since..!
The track 'Dawn Approach' was one such tune which they came up with doing a short guest slot at Kelly's bar in 2001, Paul started on the Handsonic with one of the melodic rather than percussion patches on the instrument and Bungle was playing a very treated and alternate tuned patch on 'synth' guitar setup. Andy's beautiful melody improvisation on the sax was the final cog that takes us all through the calm journey… the title came after they listened back obviously but it's a fitting title nonetheless.
