Actually what Bill Wells and Stefan Schneider are doing on their new album "Pianotapes" is chamber music. Wells plays fragile scales on the Bechstein grand piano, while Schneider records them on two old reel-to-reel tape machines and plays the recordings back at altered speeds. This real-time recording process is reflected in Well's piano playing, who replies with modulation and key changes, building the sounds and ideas into his improvisation, playing with them and developing them. Bill Wells is the Nestor of the Glasgow indie scene.

Pianotapes was originally conceived by Wells and Schneider for performance at the Dusseldorf Approximation Festival. For this recording, the duo rehearsed the process but improvised the music through unusual interplay. Schneider used two tape-to-tape machines to record Wells playing grand piano. As Schneider plays the recording back at manipulated speeds Wells responds with more variation of key and tone. He and Schneider (also of To Rococo Rot) previously collaborated (with Annie Whitehead and Baraba Morgenstern) on the 2003 album Pick Up Sticks. Less is more since the duo have the balance of intrigue and emotion just right. The idea of genre and notions of "real" and "fake" are meaningless in the face of this delicate and wonderful record.
