track information:
Liz Allbee (trumpet), Tony Dryer (double bass), Jacob Felix Heule (drum set) & Jacob Lindsay (clarinets):
The trio of Dryer/Heule/Lindsay was formed to explore musical territories made prominent in recent years emphasizing quiet and static musical structures. The trio seeks to relate to these new territories through pragmatic application of improvisation and compositional structures, rather than through stylistic imitation. Also of note is the trio's adherence to purely acoustic sound production in a music typically dominated by electronics. Here augmented by Liz Allbee on trumpet, compositions put aside. What a joy music is.
Tony Dryer (double bass) & Jacob Felix Heule (drum set):
Duo performance at the 2007 July 15 Transbay Skronkathon at 21 Grand in Oakland. Tony and I are roommates, and we've played together in a wide variety of musical situations.
Jacob Felix Heule (drum set) & Kanoko Nishi (koto):
Our first and only duo performance, 2007 Apr 28 at 21 Grand in Oakland. We've played together in a few other groupings as well. Kanoko and I both play our instruments like cats play with maimed birds.
Tony Dryer (double bass), Jacob Felix Heule (drum set) & Stefanie Ku (laptop):
This is a recording from our first trio rehearsal, 2007 Aug 9, after we had played together in a rock band for a month or so. You can hear some muffled bass from another rock band rehearsing in my building -- our music became louder & denser once they started playing.
Ettrick (JFH - drum set, & Jay Korber - drum set):
Brutal improv. My most active project. This is the end of a live performance on 2006 Oct 28 in Pasadena CA, released as Sudden Arrhythmic Death vol 2 by Not Not Fun.
Felix Brutus (JFH - electronics):
Brutish electronic noise. This piece is from a series called Lunar Battering Ram.
