About Me

All Ones new album Bloom is..........
100% organic music created by a trio of keyboards, bass, and drums. no samples, no songs written in advance, no overdubs - just music captured as it grows naturally in the studio.
This is not free form music in the traditional sense - but the chemistry of three musicians creating spontaneous form and structure without regard for genres and conventions.
While comparisons with other contemporary jazz influenced trios (or post-rock collectives) might seem obvious, don't be mislead by that either.
All Ones' studio is home to one of the largest working collections of Antique & Vintage keyboards in the country. 100 Year old acoustic instruments sit next to mechanical electro-acoustic pianos, organs, and some of the earliest pre-digital synthesizers.
Individually, the members of All Ones have played with a wide range of musicians.
Percussionist David Brandt has been active in the new music/imrov/post-rock scenes in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area for many years. Among his most interesting adventures was a European tour with the Kologbo Afrobeat Academy (Oghene Kologbo was the defintive tenor guitarist in Fela Kuti's Africa 70 band), performances with Conduction maestro Butch Morris' New York Skyscraper and with The Transcendentalists at New York's Vision Festival.
Bassist Ned Doherty has served his time in all kinds of San Francisco Bay Area bands - including tours with Avengers front woman Penelope Houston, Carmaig de Forest as well as studio experiences with Gordon Gano of the Violent Femmes, Will Rigby of the DB's and others.
When keyboardist Matt Henry Cunitz isn't repairing and restoring vintage keyboards (his day job) for a client list that runs from Grandmas to Grammy-winners, then he's likely to be found performing in recording studios or on stage with Five Dollar Suit, Brad Brooks, Hiss Golden Messenger, Last of the Blacksmiths, sometimes with Bright Black Morning Light, and on REALLY Lucky FUN days.... with Ralph Carney even! .
