about

This is the second collaboration by Ma Ja Le & James Johnson. Both “Methane Sea” and “Seed” appeared on the “Live under a Harvest Moon” limited edition cd. These definitive studio versions and other new tracks grew out of a year’s worth of recording and improvisation.

The cd title “Seed” comes from a painting by Christopher Short, which was later to become the cover art.

The original group photograph, later manipulated by Paul, was taken by Rashelle State-Hootman, the wife of Vir Unis.

Also of note: The group photo was taken on the night of the “Aqua-Culture" performance by Chris, James and Vir Unis at Chicago’s Blum Garten Gallery.

“Seed” is mastered in the HDCD format and is the first space music CD to be so.

Guitartronics might be more accurately defined as "musique concrète with guitar being the main sound source. It is focused on environments, meditative states, and atmospheres. Great for drawing, reading and other activities that require focus.
