about

THAT NOTHING IS KNOWN
quartet improvisations

Bob Marsh - vocals and electronics
Michael Zerang - drums and percussion
Jack Wright - alto, soprano, tenor saxophones, voice and small flute
John Berndt - alto and soprano saxophones, Incantor*, Sporadica**, self-built feedback system & other electronics, mouth organ, music box guts, pickups.

* the Incantor is a “circuit-bent” instrument re-engineered by Q. R. Ghazala
** the Sporadica is a magnetically driven monochord built by John Berndt

“I do not know even this one thing, namely that I know nothing. I infer, however, that this is true of both myself and others. Let this proposition be my battle cry - it commands my allegiance - “nothing is known.” Of I come to know how to establish this, I shall be justified drawing the conclusion that nothing is known; whereas if I do not know how to establish, then all the more so - for that was whatI claimed.”
-Francisco Sanches, 1581
