Recorded in Cologne in 1999, C Inside is the meeting between a banjo and an EMS analogic synthesizer, in other words between Doctor Chadbourne and his menagerie of cords and thingummies of any kind and Professor Lehn and his home-made switchboard from an older era. Fifty minutes of exacerbated improvisation, of a noisy hotchpotch, of musical meteors that disappear as quickly as they appeared, all in a very organic tradition David Tudor would be proud of. For those who were lucky to see the duet on stage, one can perfectly feel, listening to this album, the grimaces and distorsions that come along the performance.
