Green Post was formed in 1992 by Garrett Brown (guitar & voice) and David Baker (guitar) as a side project to their San Francisco bay area band The Changing (1988-1992). The music of Green Post consisted of musical ideas that never came to fruition in The Changing and leaned, stylistically, towards the soundtrack and ambient genres. Long instrumental passages layered with vocal textures and spoken words filled a place in music that was not common at the time and which was largely non-existent for the greater music-listening public. While both Garrett and David had an extensive experience in performing live in bay area clubs with The Changing, Green Post remained a studio project. In 1994, Green Post drifted into memory as the demands of other musical projects took precedence. The Changing, which also became a memory in 1992, was just the starting point for a number of other related projects that were born in the years following their dissolution.
Green Post, which never really saw the light of day and was never shopped to record labels is only resurfacing now on this myspace page as a tribute/memorial to the productive musical years that Garrett Brown and David Baker spent between the late 1980s all the way through the duration of the 1990s. More music will be uploaded to this page as tracks are dusted off from the vault and polished off to reveal their former, almost anonymous, glory. It is also my ambition to reveal past musical projects that I am very proud to have taken part in, but which are otherwise unknown-except to a small minority of fans-to the rest of the world as I re-enter a period of musical creativity. I hope you enjoy these tracks as they become available and would very much like to hear from those of you who may remember as well as anyone else who may be interested.
Other musical projects that are closely and/or loosely related to Green Post are: The Changing (1988-1992), Harmonica Virgins (1995-1998), Severence(?-1994), Flood (1994-1997), Ultra Velvet (1997-1999(?)). It is also my intention to create similar tribute/memorial pages here that will shed light on the connections between these bands and proved samples of their music as they are transferred to mp3s and are made readily available.
Thanks for listening,
David Baker
