Twelve and Twenty (Curious Automata 2025)by Vic DillahayImprovisation album number twelve, in year twenty of full-time music.

“Making those strings sing!”
Robert James

This album marks two personal milestones: twelve solo improvisation albums and twenty years of full-time music. It's a bit of a survey of the elements and techniques I enjoy in the dozen albums that make up the Analogues of Infinity project. Hope you find something you dig in it as well.

As always, thanks for listening.
