Brother Air
This solo percussion album was recorded in one take by Matt Anderson on July 19, 2004. Brother Air was nearing the end of his first 8 ½ month juice fast and this recording was created to document and celebrate this magnificent achievement. Brother Air is a true improviser and the hand-drum rig that you hear on this record was assembled the day of the recording. You are listening to one man, Brother Air. There are no overdubs of any kind.
