plant signs (20:01)
the color of (15:58)

april 2008 release ; the first recorded “pairing” of toshimaru nakamura and the english duo of joe foster & bonnie jones ... three extended pieces of cracked-electronic detritus, recorded (much like the majority of masayuki takayanagi’s output) at kid ailack hall in tokyo (by taku unami, no less) ...

tense, edge-of-your-seat music focusing on hysteresis-heavy patterns in the upper ranges ; state-of-the-art electro-acoustic improvisation at it’s finest ...

erstwhile press release...

toshimaru nakamura / english (joe foster / bonnie jones) one day
erstwhile 053
total time: 56:38

toshimaru nakamura is one of the most distinguished and original voices in the world of electroacoustic improvisation, with a vast body of work built up over the past decade. the duo of english, joe foster and bonnie jones, formed in 2004 in seoul, and have developed their aesthetic ever since, whenever possible given their bi-continental status (foster lives in seoul and jones in baltimore). in the summer of 2007, the trio played together in tokyo for the first time, one concert followed by one day of studio recordings, and the latter became "one day".

since 1998, nakamura has been exploring the possibilities of his no-input mixing board in contexts ranging from solo to collaborations with keith rowe, sachiko m, sean meehan, klaus filip and axel dörner. nakamura was a prominent presence throughout the amplify 2002 box set, appearing on five of the seven cds, and an integral part of the good morning good night, erstlive 005 and 4g releases. currently in preparation are an erstsolo release, as well as a duo cd with brilliant vocalist ami yoshida.

foster began improvising in the portland scene in the late nineties, beginning long-term partnerships with bryan eubanks and j.p. jenkins. in 2002, he moved to seoul, and has become an integral part of the burgeoning scene there. he’s had a number of superb self-released discs over the last few years, most notably his solo “ethics”, his duo with kevin parks (”ipsi sibi somnia fingunt”), and two duo english releases with bonnie jones. a third english release is in preparation for fall 2008 release.

jones was born in south korea, raised in new jersey, and currently resides in baltimore. her instrument of choice is the circuit boards of digital delay pedals, and her primary projects are english and a duo with andy hayleck. besides the aforementioned english releases, she also has an essential solo 3” on emr (vines) and an untitled duo cd-r with hayleck.

in the summer of 2007, jones visited foster in south korea and did a series of shows there and in japan, both as english and in other combinations. while they were in tokyo, they made time in their schedule to spend a day recording with nakamura, and “one day” documents the results, as captured by recording engineer taku unami. three lengthy improvisations showcase a unique collective aesthetic, dense and organic, pointillistic but rough, focused but not overly polished. the gorgeous textures of the design come from original drawings by baltimore artist erin womack.

melon expander press release...

mitchell brown
“celadonia” cd
melon expander 008

when los angeles native mitchell brown isn’t dj prof cantaloupe on radio stations kxlu or dublab, releasing albums of various sound artists on his melon expander imprint, organizing events or working with developmentally disabled children, he’s slowly nurturing many of his own sound experiments and projects.

selected from literally hundreds of hours of solo material and collaborations with fellow angelenos petra haden (that dog, decemberists, foo fighters), rick potts (solid eye, dinosaurs with horns, lafms) and leticia castaneda, bryan eubanks (ny) and joe foster (seoul, korea), this is the first substantial release of brown’s electronic and electro-acoustic music. working primarily with magnetic tape, analog synthesizers, organ, contact microphones, various resonant objects and signal processors, these extended improvisations were recorded and sculpted into compositions between 2002-2006.

at times the magnetic tape loop techniques employed seem to stem from seeds planted by pioneering tape manipulator and zen-humorist henry jacobs, terry riley and his time-lag-accumulator method or the one-man melon expander house-band, joseph hammer. fused with other electronic systems created to exist as sustainable yet pliable sound fields, these sprawling cinemas-for-the-ear can embody anything from ghostly distant memories to funhouse mirror refraction to enveloping shimmering cyclones.

since 1995, brown has studied the various behaviors relating to sensory stimulation present in the developmentally disabled children he’s assisted at a special education school. in some of the students the reduced capability to interact with others has them flourishing internally through self-stimulation of the senses in a solipsistic manner. resting alone in a dark room would be our suggestion for celadonia’s ideal listening environment.

paired with the equally analog-embracing brain sucking peanunanners’ “meta mega” cd that brown produced (released simultaneously on melon expander), these are the first 2 full-length releases from a very active yet slow-brewing bedroom studio.

brown has also recorded and/or performed with points of friction, paramecial wedding, joe potts, joseph hammer, g.e. stinson, tom recchion, albert ortega, loachfillet, john wiese / sissy spacek, johannes bergmark, smegma, ezra buchla, leticia castaneda, lionel marchetti, giussepe ielasi, jerome noetinger, barry conley, thomas dimuzio, kevin shields, los cincos/ syncopation, martian mellows and gasp among many others.
