"Richard and I became friends after meeting at Tonic in NY when he and Taylor Deupree did a show with Carsten Nicolai. He contacted me about a possible collaboration and sent me a track which I thought was very rich and harmonically similar to something I had recently been working on, a very swampy, dark piece I was calling "The Garden of Brokenness" after a very beautiful new installation by James Elaine.
I popped it into pro tools with my piece and something really special was happening, so I spent a few weeks weeding my track, trying different things...eventually I stripped it way down and we were both quite happy with the result.
Richard came up to NY and we fine tuned it a bit together and it was done. Since the piece had changed quite a bit we decided not to use that title for this piece. He then sent me another one and again, it just worked with something else I had been working on...the second track came together very quickly, and there you have it! I love Richard's work...very elegant, like the man!".

Two masters of microsound together again for reissuing an appreciated collaborative work released in 2004 on Spekk label, now resumed, expanded with two new tracks and remastered by Taylor Deupree.
William and Richard decided to add “Untitled 3” and its “Reprise” to the two original pieces, keeping the early profile that marked this project.
A matter of pure minimalism here, a sound softly made that gracefully expands itself.
If you have not yet listened to “Untitled” (Spekk, 2004) it's time to do it now, if you loved it you’ll view this update as a well-conceived integration, once again able to transmit to you its meditative atmosphere.
