Miniature America
Thanks to this ensemble of singular musicians, who were willing to jump on board with some pretty unusual ideas, and to David Breskin for coming up with many of those ideas in the first place. Thanks to The Shifting Foundation for their continued support and encouragement to search for uncharted territory. And special thanks to Ed Ruscha for permission to use “Miniature America” for the cover and title.
