1993 CD of Brion Gysin's songs, poems and stories, set to music by Ramuntcho Matta, performed by Gysin and Matta, with Don Cherry, Elli Medeiros, Steve Lacy, Lizzy Mercier Descloux & Carolline Loeb, Abdoulaye Prosper Niang, Polo Lombardo, etc. "Album based on texts by the legendary American poet, painter and writer who has influenced two generations of artists. After a brief involvement with the Surrealists, Gysin was one of the first Anglo-Saxons who moved to Morocco in the early Fifties. He became a close friend of William Burroughs', and invented the cut-up technique, which was largely used by the author of The Naked Lunch throughout his work. Recorded shortly before his death in 86, this album is a unique document featuring Brion Gysin singing/rapping his own texts on music by Ramuntcho Matta."
