Why This CD Matters
Songs in Secret Ink is a cycle of eleven original compositions built around the interplay of prepared guitar and cello.

The recording reflects the collaborative and exploratory spirit of Vermont's experimental and chamber-folk music community.

Collector Note
Independent GrainBin Music release from the early 2000s. Vermont experimental recordings from this era were often produced in small quantities, making surviving sealed copies increasingly difficult to locate.
