Disc 3:
Swimming In Qualia was a commissioned soundtrack for a video installation by Shoko Ise.
Created over a period of months during mid to late 2007. This was a work in two parts for two projectors playing consecutively: ‘Ascent’ - the main body of the composition, and ‘Glimpse’ - a shorter, looping sequence.
The installation was featured as part of the ‘Still / Alive’ exhibit of contemporary art and photography in Japan held at the Tokyo / Metropolian Museum of Photography from 22 December 2007 to 20 February 2008.
Titles 3-3, 3-4, 3-5 were created for short films by Shoko Ise included as extras on the live DVD ‘The Occurrence Of Slope’. Titles 3-3 and 3-5 were later reworked for a live performance by Ise and Jansen in Harajuku, Tokyo in December 2010.

All titles written, recorded and mixed by Steve Jansen at ‘The Nest’, London. Except 3-7 sound recording: Kemji Hayashi (Edith Grove).
Sound mixing: Steve Jansen at ‘The Nest’, London.
Re-mastered by Steve Jansen at ‘The Nest’ London 2013.
