AKT is inspired by archived recordings and personal musical documents. The musicians featured in these works have sometimes saved moments of working together, creating a magnetic treasure-trove of recordings which may not be technically perfect but nevertheless capture essential moments in their development. These recordings are now being brought out of the darkness of past time. They have not been selected primarily because of the audio quality. Often captured with whatever equipment was to hand, these albums feature rare moments of musical creativity. A memorable concert, a moment of madness in the studio, the magic of a place or the magical interaction between people, these indispensable pieces of history are now emerging into the light of day.
