Introduction
KR recruited 17 local artists/groups to join this project from September to December in 2009 and released the two-disk outcome finally in Feburary, 2010. Most of the joiners are from different cities in Taiwan - yingfan from Taipei, MU Child from Ilan, Li Na-Shao Hsinchu, and zumix29 Taichung - and the others are from different countries - Lin Hui-Chun usually lives in Germany and her partner Ko PyoungRyang is a Korean.
No matter where they are from, improvisation and noise are the core of this compilation. Disk 1 is full of (un)plugged acoustic sound from instruments such as electric guitar, cello, guqin, and human voice. Many artists in Disk 2 use computers to compose and some of them play mixers and synthesizers. But actually, KR does not know how to arrange the order of these tracks in a well-classified manner because their genres and styles are really plural.
