NOTES:

• In October 2000, SY and friends curated a week of shows at the Kulturbro Festival in Ystad, Sweden. Each night was planned by a different member. On October 9th, Mats Gustafsson led a performance of his piece "Hidros 3".
• Mats played saxophone, Kim Gordon provided vocals (lyrics apparently written by Patti Smith), Lindha Svantesson provided vocals as well, and Jim O'Rourke did a live mix. These 4 were in the large chamber of the museum.
• Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, Steve Shelley, Loren Mazzacane Connors, David Stackenäs all played guitar in their own separate rooms. Each room was missing a wall, so you could observe the performers (they were, however, blocked off with a rope and a sign that read "Do not touch the musicians").
• The album was released in September 2004 as a 66 minute CD split into 9 tracks.
