Tunnel Speeches is the first installment in a multi-phase collaborative project featuring Jonathan Smith (drums) and Michael DiSanto (guitar). At the foundation is material culled from years of their studio improvisations in inverted guitar/drum relationships, wide ambience, shifting dissonances, and extended multi-layered grooves. Musician and artist John Whitlock expands the scope, adding his own fractured melodicism to a selection of this material by way of found voices, captured sounds, and synthetic textures.
