    <description>Spool is very pleased to announce the release of Dearness, featuring Fred Frith,
    certainly one of the great contributors to adventurous new music, John Oswald, (in)famous for
    his landmark plunderphonics work, and Anne Bourne, who carries her sense of musical adventure
    along with her cello gracefully across the musical spectrum. This concert recording captures
    the trio at the Rivoli in Toronto, Canada in 1998, kicking up a sonic dust storm. Recorded live
    at the Rivoli, Toronto, August 1998. Concert produced by Rough Idea. Recording facilitated by
    Phil Strong. Mastered by Myles Boisen at Headless Buddha Mastering Labs, Oakland (CA,
    USA).</description>

    <description>Three individuals from different musical backgrounds (Jim Black, guitar,
    electronics; Ben Wilson, drum machine, electronics; Jess Conn-Potegal, turntables, keys,
    electronics), each with his own unique vision, meet at an Otomo Yoshihide/Ruins concert and the
    resultant collision becomes Broken Record Chamber. BRC ploughs a new sound field, through which
    meanders various sonic life forms, not excluding the patrons of the Epic hole-in-the-wall, The
    Sugar Refinery, where much of this was recorded. Imagine, if you can, a garage band version of
    Otomo chucking a used record store down the stairs. Broken Record Chamber was inaugurated in
    September 1998, barely moments after the smoke and debris were cleared in the wake of a
    momentous double bill featuring Otomo Yoshihide, Martin Tetrault and Ruins. Since that time
    Broken Record Chamber have participated in the Taking Wing Improvised Music Series, and have
    performed live over the air waves from the studios of Vancouver&#8217;s cooperative radio
    station (CFRO). They have also been prominently featured on CBC Radio&#8217;s &#8217;Brave New
    Waves.&#8217; Like true grandchildren of McLuhan, BRC are at home in the global village, where
    instant access to all things electric is the norm. Drawing from acid jazz funk to pop rock,
    from punk to ambient electronic to improvisation, and from large ensemble jazz to 20th century
    classical, the diverse and combined talents of Jim Black, Jess Conn-Potegal and Ben Wilson have
    coalesced into a categorical no-man&#8217;s land: an urban/environmental, signal-to-noise, DIY
    improv-ambient adventure kit.</description>
