I’m delighted to announce the release of this collaboration between Russ Ellis and Jay Lane. What I might say about it is mostly said in Russ’s liner notes, below. But I’ll add, this one really reminds me of my dad. He’d love this. Actually, I think he does! I certainly do. Have a listen and a read and a Happy Caturday, y’all! Here we are at song 6 out of 11 for this album 🙂

UPDATE August 14, 2021: Jason Martineau created a beautiful video for this track, which you can view here.
Liner notes from Russ:
I met Jay Lane when he was 14, the youngest participant in Cazadero’s Jazz Camp otherwise limited to “adults.” We were both enrolled in an “electronic music” class taught by Malcolm Cecil. Yes, that Malcolm Cecil.
For decades after that, Jay has been after me to collaborate on some “Hearts of Space” music. (That was the name of a popular radio show
featuring computerized music). Last year I agreed and this is the result of that collaboration.
We did not plan ahead. It took Jay ages to get his Pleistocene equipment going. When it was ready, we just started. Then we stopped.
