In late July 2002 Tetuzi Akiyama (gtr) and Toshimaru Nakamura (no-input mixing desk) toured NZ with Greg Malcolm and Bruce Russell. Each concert took the format of a Japanese duo, an NZ duo, then two international pairings, different each night, hence the title of this disc. The recordings selected for this release all feature Tetuzi in duets with the other performers, with his guitar the constant element throughout. A full frequency spectrum summary of state of the art improvisational sound practice at the dawn of the 21st century.
