This is the first collaboration between these two well known sound manipulators. Peripheral Blur is well named: something always seems to appear briefly at the borders of auditory perception. Mark Spybey contributed toy sounds and vocals as source material while James Plotkin used guitars as sound generators. Sounds shift focus and density in a way that escapes exact definition and encourages listening investment.
