With a mixture of crunchy electronics and warming sub-bass from Schwarz, and jazz acrobatics on the Fender Rhodes from Wesseltoft, the pair got deep into the groove for a live version of Leave My Head Alone Brain. Other musical interludes included a 9 minute improv session in which the duo showed exactly how the interplay between the two musicians works.
