Recorded on March 7th at Redison recording in Murfreesboro ( aka Cory's home studio).
While separated into tracks, this was played in once take, all the way through as a "full on" improv performance. This was the first time we'd all played together, and the energy and vibe was instantly there. Listen for yourself and judge, but we feel like this is a very special recording and is significant to our growth as musicians.
We hope this is the first of many musical ventures for us as a group.

"Improvising without set parameters can be a high risk/high reward proposition. It’s all about creating together in real time- listening and being present in the moment. Revelation is a wonderful example of 3 virtuoso artists instantly collaborating. The purity of their first encounter results in the highest of rewards. We are left grateful Troy, Cory and Michael documented this high-risk endeavor!"

"Funky and mysterious, spacious and gnarly, emotional and in your face, “Revelation” is apply named. Atkins, Ponder and Tebrinke take us on a crazy tour through the shared history of three fantastic musical minds. Recorded in one shot on one day and with no plan, they sound a hell of a lot like a band with 10,000 hours of time together behind them. Fearless and fearsome."
