David Shea is a composer working with combinations of samplers and live musicians, centered on the possibilities of electronic and acoustic traditions. The focus is on the interconnections between styles, histories and mediums with single pieces containing multiple layering's of compositional methods, electronic and acoustic orchestrations - Drawing from experimental music and film music influences as well as traditional musics from both eastern and western cultures, many pieces are based on films, novels, mythology and visual sources.

This is the third album released by sub rosa in two years. After the acclaimed prisoner and i (for sampler solo), this one gives a more complex figure of the sampler composition. Composed and produced by David Shea in New York City, during september-october 1995, it included 24 tracks (each one is a room to explore with its own mood). Featuring David Morley (r&s) on analog synthesizer programming, Dave Douglas on trumpet, Zeena Parkins on piano & prepared piano, Jim Pugliese on percussions.
