Early acoustic guitar improv performances from the Bhutanese expat, who’d come to Asheville, NC to study in 2000 and discovered worlds of anarcho-punk and avant garde such as he’d only dreamed.

All tracks except "April" recorded by Flora Wolpert Checknoff and Michael Flanagan, Nov. 2012 Lipinsky Studio.
"April" recorded by Dorji, at home, Nov. 2012
