In 2005 the duo were on tour in the U.S. in support of Grubbs’s album A Guess at the Riddle when they took a most productive break at John McEntire’s Soma Studios, over the course of a day laying down something utterly different from the song-based set they were playing most evenings. The Harmless Dust presents the same composition in two arrangements: one for piano and cello (played with a curved bow that makes it possible to sound multiple strings simultaneously) and the other for Hammond organ and multi-tracked e-bowed piano. What resulted are worlds within sound worlds, within whirls, within whorls, without words. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece was first performed live in Tokyo and then released on CD in Japan by the Headz label; this is its first release on LP, with new artwork by Nikos Veliotis from the same series that yielded the original design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Improved Sequence","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50507477582155,"sku":"1124118","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/bb30e0b1-3bb9-4899-81cb-0fa1382205f1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727850397","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/the-harmless-dust","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
