The compilations on this page are albums of informal performances made in our living rooms. We characterize them as “raw”, “unabashed”, “lo-fi”, “scruffy”, “authentic”, and “heartfelt” — with neither the polish of studio production, nor the strictures of popularity and conformity. In these joyful noises, you can expect genuine feeling accompanied by the unexpected…😎

- Source: Wikipedia: “The Great Comet of 1811, formally designated C/1811 F1, is a comet that was visible to the naked eye for around 260 days, the longest recorded period of visibility until the appearance of Comet Hale–Bopp in 1997. In October 1811, at its brightest, and when it was 1.2 AU from Earth, it displayed an apparent magnitude of 0, with an easily visible coma.” ↩︎
