Bruford Levin Upper Extremities - A Palace of Pearls (On a Blade of Grass)

From Bruford Levin Upper Extremities' 1999 album 'Bruford Levin Upper Extremities'
Tony Levin:
"Ahh... love this - Bruford composition. He's always striving for more dynamics on recordings. His musical instructions were to slowly climb a mountain, and pause just before the top, cresendo-ing all the way."
Bill Bruford:
"Flickering oriental black and white. Slow Motion. The bearer of overwhelming sadness, seated, in ritual dress, slowly, slowly edges the blade to his unprotected belly, He is resolved, but in that resolution lies also the seed of his salvation. In a triumphal climax, the realisation dawns that his utter preparedness to do it expunges the need for it to be done. He is purged."
Personnel:
Chris Botti - trumpet
Bill Bruford - electronic percussion, synth, sticks and mallets on derelict piano in Levin's garage
Tony Levin - NS electric upright bass
David Torn - guitar & noir loops
