Avante experimentalism, not noisey, instead piano driven; more along the lines of Birdsongs of the Mesozoic, The Residents in an ambient mood, ending with downtown Manhattan avante jazz. A moment of good progginess midway is underscored by certain avante jazz in the end. Incorporates samples gathered by a soldier in Iraq, but not blatantly so (i.e. doesn’t lower itself to novelty), recorded back home as part of the New Mexico High Mayhem art collective.
1) looping sparse melodies, radio static samples/voices
2) ambient, minor keyed vibes, reeds, filmic
3) looping dark piano/synth, glitchy Birdsongs of the Mesozoic feel
4) dark piano ambience with upright bass sample takes a decidedly prog feel midway, play as intro to new Soft Machine cd
5) dark fuzzy loop with plodding dark piano, voice sample looping
6) swingy piano, with drums, dissonant
7) dark cello/bass string melody with piano, more of an idea than a piece
8) very reverby bass, piano, horn, drums meanderings, avante jazzlike
8) another slow to develop sparse improv between sax/piano/bass/drums
