I believe the imprint is Weber's own, though all you can see is a "c" design and nothing I've found on- line indicates anything one way or the other. In any case, it's a 3" disc, wrapped in a handsome Jason Kahn-designed cover and packaged in something that reminds me of a slim cigarette case, documenting a solo performance from March, 2006. A bit of ambient room noise gives way to a riotous cascade of hyper-percussive bass playing, possibly Weber manipulating his bow between the strings and the wood; it's an impressive onslaught. It likely had no alternative but to subside eventually and it does in a stumblage of bow taps only to be replaced by gossamer arco harmonics. This then simmers down to a low drone that has something of a didgeridoo-like quality, alternating between a contemplative and restive state. A kind of breathing/groaning, in and out section ensues, at first a little tiresome but becoming more and more effective as the exhalations intensify; just when you begin to fear for Weber's stamina, he exits with whispers. Nice little packet, this.
