about

Improvisation is at the heart of what I do. These 4 tracks represent the art of improvisation to its fullest. I set up the instruments that I wanted to use, grabbed some mallets, then pushed ‘record’ on my computer. These were recorded live to 2-track audio. There are no overdubs, no effects, no processing. In post, all I did was adjust the levels and check the balance between the channels. That’s it. So what you hear is basically what I heard. Enjoy the journey. ~ MB

Recorded at the Vibration Factory, Autumn 2022.

Driftwood
by Simon Barker: drums

I've never heard anything else like this. I was fortunate to see Simon in Australia last January at MOFO and his playing and ideas are unique. This album blows me away. Check it out! Michael Bettine

I've stolen a lot of what I know about percussion from Andrea. He's a true original and creates beautiful music. You owe it to yourself to check this album out. Michael Bettine

Illusory
by JARBOE

I love this recording and find that it takes me to other realms. I often play it when I need to be in a creative mood. Jarboe's music seems to know me better than I know myself. Michael Bettine
