New musical directions from composer and keyboardist Amanda Chaudhary. Known for her many collaborations over the years, including Nubdug Ensemble, Vacuum Tree Head, Surplus 1980, Pitta of the Mind, and Reconnaissance Fly, this album showcases the electro-jazz-funk sound of Amanda's personality.

Featuring the thundering rhythm section from Ornette Coleman's Prime Time Band, Jamaaladeen Tacuma on bass, and G Calvin Weston on drums. Amanda is also joined by Bay Area new-music luminaries such as Steve Adams (ROVA Saxophone Quartet), Myles Boisen (Tom Waits, John Zorn), Amy X Neuburg (new-music vocalist extraordinaire), Sheldon Brown (Clubfoot Orchestra, Bob Weir). And the late great chanteuse Serena Toxicat.

The line runs from the cinematic down to the deeply funky across to the sublimely weird, Cross the turnstile and hop aboard!
