When one drummer pays tribute to the other it means a lot already. If there are decades between their carriers it becomes even more meaning. But when the understanding of each other, sharing sarcastic approach and unusual sense of humour turns out to be a spine of the project, then time just twists and makes a hyperbole, especially when both the paying tribute and receiving one, are both quite a characters.

The hypertide is real, so is Kiribati. In our collective somnambulism we’ve managed to create a situation where a low lying atoll in the Pacific will soon be flooded by the polar ice we’ve managed to melt in part by uploading photos to Instagram. A real life desert island paradise submereged by a virtual tide of holiday selfies.
