Silk! is a companion release to Moss 'Comes Silk (Humming Bird CD 1).
It was recorded by engineer Myles Boisen the same two days in September 1995 as the earlier release. It is the only time all of the instruments OPEYE was using in performance were individually miked and recorded in a studio setting.
The music is a perfect complement to that on Moss 'Comes Silk. The flavors of Silk! are more subtle, more understated, but the multi-independent musical form is perhaps stretched even further.
Players include Henry Kuntz, Ben Lindgren, Brian Godchaux, John Kuntz, Esten Lindgren.
The Sun Divination Session is a self-recorded OPEYE rehearsal session from August 1996 at which only Ben and Esten Lindgren and John and Henry Kuntz were present. The open-ended and relaxed nature of our meeting (on an unusually warm Berkeley afternoon) facilitated the creation of some particularly organic music.
