about

A Book of Number contains poems concerning number symbolism interspersed with a series of diary entries detailing sightings of a Goshawk in Torrance's mountain retreat. This is the final album by The Heat Poets, a 30-year collaboration between Chris Torrance and Chris Vine.

"Working together since 1985, Torrance and Vine have developed a startlingly contemporary form of poetry with
music. No broody basses or folky acoustics here; these are versatile, muscular and lyrical soundscapes
which, while sidestepping obvious definitions, are influenced by rock, rap, free improvisation and European
art music". Planet: The Welsh Internationalist
