This album, recorded at the Esplanade Hotel in St.Kilda (Melbourne) in the summer of 1997-98, was the first collaboration between Hugo Race (in the production role) and Marta Collica and Giovanni Ferrario. Cat Hope also wrote and played on "Experiments..." before leaving to form her own band, Gata Negra. Giovanni Ferrario later went on to play bass and guitar with Hugo's True Spirit (on records including Goldstreet Sessions, Taoist Priests and 53rd State), besides releasing solo albums such as the brand new "Headquarters Delirium" (which also features 2 songs cowritten by Giovanni and Hugo). Marta Collica is Hugo's partner in the Italian-based experimental pop project Sepiatone - their latest release is their "Introduction to Sepiatone" album, released by Chicago independent label Minty Fresh as digital download direct from iTunes on March 15th, 2008. To clarify/complicate matters further, Giovanni Ferrario is also a member of Sepiatone, both in the studio and occasionally live. These are just some of the reasons why "Experiments on the Duration of Love", besides being a classic album (lovingly recorded by legendary Australian engineer Norman Fagg), is of root significance in the trajectories of these three artists.
