"Standard procedure is to point out (as the CD liner notes do) that all Escapade music is "composed collectively and spontaneously" with no overdubs. That is, all improvised whether live or in the studio. Escapade's music is similar to early spacey improvisational Krautrock, but they also explore ambient music and a bit of jazz as well (see profile/interview last issue). The band is New York City based and includes Paul Hilzinger on various keyboards and synths, and percussion, John Ortega on various synths, sounds, and processed bass, Paul Casanova on electric and acoustic guitars, percussion, and electronics, Joey Murphy on electric guitar and percussion, Hadley Kahn on drums, percussion, and analog synth, and newcomer Russell Giffen on bass."
