“First Encounter” by LONGSHORE is a combined effort of several composers and associates.  It’s the brainchild of Art Johnson and Mike Dion.  A type of experiment using midi and real instruments throughout a network of musicians across several areas.  The ideas are many and are intertwined with influences of jazz, classical, new age and rock.  As a combined group not one composer is greater than another, hence this was a group collaboration and credited as such.  Produced by Mike Dion.
