This album refers to the octogon and the figure eight as general topics and directions to the artwork and the musical release in itself:
The music originally improvised by the trio has been selected, sometimes cut and reshaped, into 9 tracks and 72 minutes of music, the eight first tracks being 64 minutes of music containing free improvisations and post-produced asymetric pattern loops.
This puzzle has inspired the artwork that refers to the octogon as geometric form as well as a post-W.W.II political scandal known as "the Octogon Trust".
The whole is meant to be an hommage to conspiracy-theories and over-interpretative type of relationship to reality, unsatifisfied with its natural flow, as in free improvisation, from anyhow to somehow, and the ability to create sense from chaotic randomness.
Octogon was released by Wide Ear Records.
