Greetings .micronauts,

This public announcement has been delayed due to supplies
being on back order, plus the usual snafus with UPS...

In any event, and/OAR is pleased to finally announce the 
second release in the long neglected "and/live" series:


TOBIAS C. VAN VEEN & TOMAS PHILLIPS: If Not, Winter

This release features 3 short solo performances by tobias c. van Veen 
and 1 long collaborative performance between van Veen and tomas phillips.

The solo tracks by van Veen often display slow brooding shifts of
indistinct 
shadings and lower register drones, while the collaboration between van 
Veen and phillips is more varied; effortlessly traversing from one hue of

soundscape to another, although not veering too far away from the 
seemingly established foundations of mood set forth by the first two solo

tracks of van Veen. Sound samples can be found here:
