READ THIS: Positive Motivations Intended Through Art and Music To Bring About A Better Future, Today (which is what this page is meant to be about) - There is enough dwelling on negativity in the world as it is.(Minus all kinds of details - a brief summary of my musical life thus far) At one time, I was a teenage DJ and rave promoter - in 96 along with a partner I threw a mostly hardcore rave called Outer Limits which, although attracted a lot of people, failed to break even and, separately, due to dealing with shady individuals, I was out of most of my equipment.fast forward to 99 - the year I started producing experimental hip hop beats and finished a cassette of musical sketches that I later put out under the title Haphazard Music: A Noise-Time Reduction in limited quantities.I joined Evolve Music in early 00 mainly on the basis of this tape and a mutual love of weird progressive music, art, knowledge and vegetarianism among other things.I started trekking to Riverside weekly, spending all of my weekends at The Landfill collaborating on a great deal of music with Dolphinbrain, mostly, at first, then, sometime later several other members got more involved and we became an improvisational experimental noise group, got some airplay on KUCR, a show at the Barn on the UCR campus in September of 01 was our public debut - we played many shows and made another great deal of live and layered recordings - some of this material has been released and others collect dust in the vaulted archives awaiting the light of day.after over a year of being an unnamed noise group under the Evolve Music umbrella banner we took some time off rethinking, reorganizing and revitalizing and opting to take a vacation from electronics, so to speak, and start playing real instruments exclusively for a while we learned to play and harmonize with each other unplugged with any kind of instrument we felt like using as the music help guide us toward intuitive travels via psychedelic dimensions pioneered for the sake of enjoymentmany experiments, new discoveries, recordings and milestones later brings us to the present - now re-oriented with hip hop, jazz, space, electronics, computers, nature, organic, positive, tribal, soul-felt, searching, journey minded - the open-ended saga continues.
All tracks listed here have never been released before.
These are covers I made for a 3" CD Dolphinbrain and I just released - "Electro-Magnetic Activated Harmonic Magi" - the music consists of a live improvised recording he and I made in 2001 - available from me for $5:
There's a track from my upcoming album "Interdimensional Kaleidoscopic Vortex Viewfinder" available on the EVOLVEMUSIC

A Static Rainbow Vol. 2: GREEN
This is the second part of the Static Rainbow cassette series and it is an example of forward thinking noise par excellence. In all seriousness, Tawee was one of the main reasons for my initiating this series. His tracks go beyond the territory of normal noise heshers to unexplored realms, deeper drones, hard hand drums, ethnic flourishes, crystalline structures that one might have heard during the glory days of the ECM label but you sure aren't hearing now. In a genre as democratic as noise music, Tawee stands a head above the rest, making complex compositions with great attention to detail; psychedelic, positive sound exploration. Tawee is a member of the Evolve Music crew in Southern California, a collective which has pioneered new manifestations of noise, hip hop and psychedelic jazz. Here Tawee explores the noisy psychedelic edges of the musical universe with one ten minute track and on the other side ten one minute tracks of visionary material - John Thill - NightPass Handmade Records - Hear a sample track HERE: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=107103546
