'"In the spring of 2003, Martin Tetreault and Otomo Yoshihide toured part of Europe in a 15-date, 16-day marathon. Out of these improv concerts, six were captured on various media : CDr, dat and minidisc. The thought of preserving these moments came naturally to the ears of our two turntablists and was motivated by the renewed pleasure of playing together and of course by the quality of the music, which, night after night, explored new forms ranging from sonic economy to something much harsher. On this second installment in a planned trilogy, they present the most fragmented on the very apt title 2. Tok." Martin Tetreault: tourne-disques, objets; Otomo Yoshihide: tourne-disque, objets.'
