While Mbaye and trumpeter Roger Ongolo solo, Hebden provides the sampled spice through a daisy-chained set of two Boss SP-303 Dr. Sample phrase samplers on one channel and a third SP-303 on the other, running the whole setup through a Pioneer DJ M600 mixer and playing it with his fingers.

“I don't use any sequencers when I do music with Steve,” Hebden explains. “It's all done from hand triggering the samples. With one hand I'll play the rubber pads to get the bass line, and then with the other I'll get some noises or a melody off one of the other samplers to fit with it. I also use a laptop to trigger sounds on the fly with Cool Edit [the Syntrillium version, pre-Adobe]. But everything is pretty much done with the three Dr. Samples. From the beginning, I just wanted it to feel like I was playing quite a different instrument, so it's been a whole other world for me.”
