Quiet Days in

In The Shadow Of The Living Room is the first and only album by Jonathan (Yoni) "Why?" Wolf and David "Odd Nosdam" Madson of Ohio's Reaching Quiet. Both were part of the Anticon collective and also of the trio cLOUDDEAD with Adam "Dose One" Drucker but also decided to try a duo project that was a mixture of experimental hip-hop and lo-fi electronic sounds. This came out on the Mush label.

In the summer of 2004 Vancouver keyboardist Chris Gestrin spent three intense days in the studio on a Steinway D, recording in high resolution DSD with nine different duo and trio groupings of musicians from Vancouver’s vibrant music scene. Apart from a handful of compositions including a few solo piano pieces, all the music was completely improvised, exploring the process of spontaneous composition with concentration, finesse and expressive power. In the exposed settings on this 2007 release, success depended on sustaining the inspiration of the moment.
