Jambience: Live at the Arts Factory was born almost by itself.  The band, which was to become Jambience, formed when Andy Larmouth, Enrick Adam and Phil Jackson all happened to cross paths in Byron Bay NSW, Australia.  As all three shared an interest in guitar, percussion, didgeridoo, they entered a talent contest, held weekly at Byron Bay’s Famous Arts Factory Lodge, won, and were asked to headline the following weekend. 

Word of the trio and their unique style of acoustic music spread, and their Saturday night gigs at the Art Factory became somewhat of a sensation.  At the audiences request, one of these sessions was recorded, and Jambience: Live at the Arts Factory sprung to life, selling in excess of 200 copies in its first week of existence.

This CD is Jambience’s second effort.   Following the accidental success of their fist effort, it was decided that a CD of entirely original Jambience material was in order, as the first disc is mostly covers.  Work on the recording began on the evening of the band’s UK reunion gig, virtually one year to the day of the release of their first CD, and continued over the band’s next eight gigs.  It contains reworked versions of Trinity and Didjam, as well as five new pieces of Jambient music. 

A notable addition to the band’s line up on this CD is Chris Puleston.  Chris is a long time friend of Andy’s, and made his debut with the band on their UK reunion gig.  Following his outstanding performance that evening, Chris became part of the band playing drum kit, congas, tablas and bongos to name but a few. 

Further ambience is also added to the CD by Brighton local Rohan Kriwaczeck.  Phil met Rohan whilst busking in Brighton, and although not offically a member of the band, Rohan has been a full-time guest at virtually all of their performances.  On this disk, he is featured playing violin, flute, and wooden clarinet.
