Jarvik VII- Plastic Hearts Can’t Be Broken (they Just Melt)

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:50:48 +0000

The Jarvik vii was a free jazz ensemble inspired by the Art Ensemble of Chicago. There was a revolving door of participants, but it was primarily Sean (Bugskull), Sam Coomes (Quasi), Aaron (Sone) and Brendan (bugskull). Guests included Travis Kurtz & Tres Shannon (Kurtz Project) and on one occasion, we were joined by Gino Robair (Splatter Trio) which was an unexpected surprise.

Many joyous sunday afternoons were spent skronking away at the bugskull house, and a good deal of it was captured on tape. Judicious editing provide some decent moments here.

Capital Eye- Subplot

Roadcone records released a series of Split 7″ singles. This one featured California (Aaron from Sone) and Capital Eye (Sean from Bugskull)- though in my mind there is no difference between this and bugskull. It’s a great track!

Scaring a Nation – Double Live Cassette (Eldest Son)

admin — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 21:16:14 +0000

Here’s a gem.. Bugskull were never the most “precise” live unit, but man there were some moments of intensity/hilarity/absurdity. Highlights of this tape include:

a blistering Almost Blue with a (criminally) rare appearance of Jimmy on violin.

an indulgent Stiff as a board with the immortal lines: ” wondering where I am, in a foreign land. wondering how the hell I got here I rode in a van”

2 never released tracks: “What I had in mind” and “Krush Groov(ie)” featuring our neighbor Greg on Tuba (awesome!) .. the list goes on.

Bugskull/Quasi 7″ Split

admin — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 18:36:49 +0000

In 1994, Bugskull and Quasi were good chums, and our friend Joe Macca proposed a 7″ split single on his fledgling label, Red Rover. The bugskull song is one of my favorites- it has that pin-drop-quiet-to-bombastic section at the end and the delirious organ that is hard to resist.

Bugskull- Pure Love

Sidereal Rest- The Sleep Vehicle

As you fall asleep your brainwaves undergo changes in frequency and amplitude. These changes flow into one another on mental plateaus known as the cycles of sleep. On this recording, sounds are found, invented, spontaneously combusted, squeezed like blood from the forehead and smothered lovingly with a pillow on a magical voyage through real time. The sounds have been sequenced in association to the cycles of sleep to accompany you from consciousness into unconsciousness, from the objective to the subjective; through songs to improvisations, from relaxed waking into deep sleep.
