Being in Mongolia, with little access to live recording facilities led me to experiment with electronically altering extant material in an attempt to present the 'nagual' element (google it!). NOX is the mystical 'Night of Pan'. The first CD in the series uses a ten-minute track from The PIANO Sessions as its source material. The 'nagual' realisation resulted in an hour-long work, presented in an unbroken whole on NOX 1: Altan Zul.

Further releases have followed a similar pattern: a previous solo improvisation was taken apart and reconstructed in a new alignment in an attempt to create a 'door' through which the essential nagual element might enter and give life to the music. "When we cut up the past, the future leaks out" (William Burroughs).

I have chosen the six-pointed Hexagram to represent this combination of extant source material and electronic manipulation, with the nagual being the hoped-for result of this union. The two intersecting triangles are the original source and the manipulation itself, and the hexagon in the middle is the 'door' by which the nagual enters as a result of this mutually destructive act.
