Somewhere between noise and music

About Me

ON THE PLAYER AT THE MOMENT:"Jumbled Mantras""Stranded On The Dribbling Tide" mix 1"Mirrors Of The Vampire Mind" mix 1"Our Icon For The Eons" demo mix 2Operating somewhere between noise and music, HALFMOON & PIG is the part of Inverted Ear Music where Mark, Derek and Sylvain harness their tangents and combine to create loosely structured improvisations they wouldnt arrive at individually.We're recording new stuff at the moment so you'll probably see a few demos and work-in-progress mixes up here before we release tracks on mp3 and cd later in the year.In "friends" you will see our other projects: SYNTHPIG, ISOKON FLATS, FATHER NO HEAD, SHAMAN HEADINVADER, and where we started, as THE INSTITUTION. They range from pop to paranoia. You decide which is which.We're always keen to hear any constructive comments about the tracks and to learn about any truly exciting and original music you can point us towards (and no, that isn't an open invitation to rampant self-publicists...we have special goggles that can spot the genuine searchers of you out there!). Failing that, any unusual and life-changing vegatables you might have encountered while out shopping. We might appear stern at first, but become almost approachable once you get to know us;-) We've discovered that it is around this point that most people give up reading these band biogs.a href="http://www.pimp-my-profile.com/" target="_blank
