MONTGOMERY PARK: Thurman Street Sessions Montgomery Park was formed at the turn of the century in Portland, Oregon by Dan Cohoon , Kelly Joseph and Jim Ebenhoh . They named their band after a historic warehouse-turned-office building in northwest Portland. The band only used toy instruments, mostly bought from confused kids at garage sales, “That is a toy, why do you want that? You are NOT a kid.â€Fueled by Oregon’s stellar microbrews, the group recorded sporadically in a pyramid-shaped room with skylights and plush white carpeting. After a fertile but increasingly volatile series of sessions, which were both marred and enhanced by the occasional “punk rock accident,†the group abruptly turned off the recorder and stashed its toys in a cedar chest. The resulting tapes sat and collected dust for several years until, with some gentle prodding from Jim, Dan finally got around to remixing the stuff. Jim and Kelly now live in Wellington, New Zealand while Dan lives in Pennsylvania.You can download the enire ablum for free here .

MORAL CRAYFISH: I am fully aware of my own unreality. This album was recorded in the month of November, 2007 for the National Record a Solo Album Month . It deals with a missadventure by Dan Cohoon involving a certain town on the north shore of Massachusetts. [Hints: It is the town north of Witch City USA (a town making profit off of the massacre of women for over 250 years), it is where the people who killed all witches actually lived, John Updike lives there, Julia Childs liked to frequent a bad Chinese restaurant just north of the town), it is the town that birthed the American Navy (unless you talk to the folks in Marblehead ).]All sounds made by Dan Cohoon using prepared guitar (electric and acoustic), pot lids, chop sticks, hand drum, harmonica, violin, snare drum, maracas, Yamaha DX-100 , Casio CT-K 330 , Hondo II , Washburn , toy keyboards and various other implements of clatter.

MORAL CRAYFISH: Catastrophic Success All sounds made by Dan Cohoon using prepared guitar, screwdrivers, chopsticks, dowel rods, bells and various other household objects. This E.P. is less dependent on prepared guitar than previous work. Most of the sounds were produced using everyday objects that were then manipulated on the computer. It was recorded from Summer of 2005-Winter 2006 in Glen Mills, PA. It was mastered by Jacob Anderson @ Tape Mountain HQ.The name Catastrophic Success comes from one of the many brilliant mis-statements our dear leader has made in regards to Iraq. A reporter asked what he thought of the situation in Iraq. George W. Bush replied that it was a “Catastrophic Success!†Well, he got it half right.Underseas * Hypnotheoretical * I’m the Decider Catastrophic Success * Misunderestimate * Make the Pie Higher Moral Crayfish: Catastrophic Success may be purchased via PayPal for $3.00 MORAL CRAYFISH: We did not do it, but we dug it!

MONIKER: The Complete Recordings Moniker was a band that existed roughly between the years of 1996-1999. The band played out exactly four times. Moniker was an improv based project between my brother and me.The rules of Moniker were simple. 1. You could not practice with the person you were playing with before the show. 2. It was best in fact, if you did not touch your instrument at all between shows. 3. Play until at least half the audience had left.We imagined it to be like John Zorn's Cobra but for extremely lazy people. The band eventually stopped playing out because it became harder and harder to follow the third rule.Moniker's The Complete Recordings features the two concerts that were documented. It is the first new release on the Field Theory Recordings label.Moniker: The Complete Recordings may be purchased for $4.00 via paypal Field Theory Recordings * Moral Crayfish * A=1/F Squared * Links
