Support 		In On Foot, Craig Shepard walked 250 miles across Switzerland. Every day he composed a new piece, wrote it down and performed it on the pocket trumpet at 6 p.m. All concerts took place out-of-doors in public spaces such as squares, harbors, intersections, sidewalks, and mountain-tops.

Edition Wandelweiser Records will produce a recording of pieces from the trek. Shepard will travel to Germany, Switzerland, and Hanover, New Hampshire to record performers in their homes.

La Chaux-de-Fonds, 27 Les Petites Crosettes, le 28 juillet, 2005 will be recorded by Christian Wolff, melodica at his home in Hanover, New Hampshire on January 30th, 2010 .

Vallorbe, le 23 juillet, 2005 will be recorded at Marcus Kaiser's atelier in Düsseldorf on February 13, 2010 with Marcus Kaiser, cello, Tobias Liebezeit, percussion, Antoine Beuger, flute, and Jürg Frey, clarinet.
