the story begins

october 2009 release ; debut from the duo of marielle “darwinsbitch” jakobsons and agnes szelag, working with a veritable orchestra of bay-area players (aram shelton, ben bracken, phil greenlief, etc) ...

drone-heavy pieces laced with eastern-european folk idioms & the odd electro-acoustic and/or free-improv element ; quite nice !!!

ace030: myrmyr "the amber sea" cd

myrmyr is the duo of agnes szelag and marielle jakobsons (aka darwinsbitch). they create electroacoustic songs on many instruments such as violin, cello, voice, bass, gezhong, piano, and accordian. when those instruments aren't enough, they invite friends to play with them and write scores for conducted improvisations. their scores are often conceptually or process-driven, resulting in their unique style of electroacoustic music, reminiscent of scandinavian free folk, lullabies, dramatic film scores, and electronic improvised music.

"the amber sea" is their debut album and is the story of amber, inspired by the mythology, baltic folklore, and geology of this magical gem. the album traces the story of how amber is created, with material from intimate lullabies and free form ballads to epic orchestral oceans.

a whole host of guest musicians populate the world of "the amber sea" playing instruments ranging from trombone, clarinets, vibraphone, flutes, harmonium, voice and more. it's an absolute collective effort.

kranky press release...

artist: gregg kowalsky
title: through the cardial window
catalog #: krank094
formats available: cd
release date: april 17, 2006

for through the cardial window gregg kowalsky used mic'ing and recording techniques to pull out hidden textures and frequencies from sound sources as diverse as recordings of the mills ensemble (he filtered a piece he wrote for the group through the pickup of an acoustic guitar), bowed acoustic guitar and a broken floor heater. "into the marshes they drove me" contains source material from the band isis. kowalsky made a track, using tones, harmonics and feedback loops. the music he creates is situated betwixt and between textural ambience, psychedelia and pure noise.

born in new york city and raised in south florida, gregg kowalsky has had the opportunity to perform throughout europe and the united states under the osso bucco moniker for the past several years. he participated in festivals such as wdr's soundart-köln festival, sonar, offf (online flash-film festival) and the nursery summer festival in sweden. he now resides in oakland, california where he completed a master of fine arts degree in electronic music and recording media at mills college with the guidance of fred frith.

kowalsky's compositions range from textural ambient to drone and noise pieces, which are highly influenced by the thick, humid air of south florida where gregg lived for most of his life. he is interested in filling the spaces his music occupies through dense, live, multi-channel mixes. he has composed for film, dance, acoustic ensembles and sound installations.
