Molly Berg and Stephen Vitiello came together for a soundtrack project commissioned by Brazilian video artist Éder Santos, whose video portrait of a lonely, zoo-dwelling gorilla (named Idi Amin) was the starting point. Although only a three-minute piece was required of the duo, they improvised their way through forty minutes of guitar, clarinet, vocals, field recording and electronics, the results of which became their debut album "The Gorilla Variations", released on the record label 12k in April 2009.
