This is the record of an ongoing set of experiments involving chamber music, sexuality, and the various connections between them. The project includes an ever-expanding constellation of folks interested in furthering these experiment, numbering around 40 at the time of this re-release of "fleur du mal," though only 10 of them are on this particular record.

Cher Von probably comes from a planet where all communication is made by telepathy and song. Her voice sounds like nothing I've ever heard, and the way music flows out of her is a spectacle to behold. C.J. Boyd
