mike tamburo & his orchestra
the ghosts of marumbey cd [mf27]

mike tamburo is back again picking, droning, buzzing and rocking with the biggest line up of the universal orchestra of pituitary knowledge (his backing band). collaborators on this project include ken camden (meisha), keenan lawler, brad rose (north sea, etc.), jeff komara (arco flute foundation, air guitar magazine), matt mcdowell (nux, arco flute foundation), pete spynda (meisha, arco flute foundation, air guitar magazine), bryan camphire (bloody panda), blake mcdowell (bloody panda), wilson lee (fathmount), john fail (lied music, etc.), tusk lord, nick schillace, charlie vinz (head of femur, stmonroe, bobby conn band).

“the ghosts of marumbey were born in a dream. most interesting things are implanted in our minds, intentionally or not, signposts pointing to anywhere. mike tamburo has spent the last few years searching for marumbey in every nook and cranny of this fucked up beautiful country, and in other places, too. under the rugs and behind the couches, out back behind green gardens and underneath gray-gold branches of sunkissed forest. or maybe it was just here all along, invisible to the touch but breathing the lives of so many that have come before. this is the sound of a place that never existed but still pulses with bubbling, mutating life. this is a ballad for a battle never fought - a dream never-ending” - lee jackson.

co-released with new american folk hero.

arco flute foundation, the
everything after everything after the bomb is sci-fi cd [mf19]

the arco flute foundation formed in 1999 when two-thirds of pittsburgh’s minimalist drumless rock trio meisha moved to edinboro, pa to attend the small state university located there. with little else to do in this sleepy farm town, mike tamburo and pete spynda devoted themselves to this new band with matt mcdowell and jeff komara. komara provided the drums meisha always purposefully lacked, giving the new band a distinct identity, both leading the sound into massive rock bombast (like mogwai or kinski) and into expansive, earthy drone and clatter (like no-neck blues band or franciscan hobbies) while never straying from the crystalline, hypnotic guitar interplay that so identified meisha.

over the next four years, the arco flute foundation toured the united states several times and released three full length albums (the second lesson in new era time as well as the third and everything after the bomb is sci-fi, all three on cenotaph audio). live performances were usually against a film backdrop, with tamburo’s hand-painted films covering the band. their improvised moments included guitar, electronics, bells, and various inventive percussive elements.

while the band grew tremendously during those four years, increasing their use of experimentation both in composition and musicianship, reaching their peak in creativity, this peak also coincided with graduation and separation. tamburo currently lives is between homes, and is actively making solo recordings, while much of the rest of the band has relocated to pittsburgh and has begun again as air guitar magazine. everything after everything after the bomb is sci-fi is exactly what the title states: all of arco flute foundations best recordings - both live and in their home studio - since their third album was recorded, documenting the most creative moments of this artistic collaboration.

spiderwebs / mike tamburo & matthew mcdowell / keenan lawler
strands formerly braided cd [mf15]

when you unbraid your hair, the strands remain curled and contorted for some time. the act of braiding the strands together affects the structure and fibers of the hair, taking days or even weeks for the hair to relax back into its natural position. this relationship between strands in a braid is similar to relationships between people. each interaction, especially ones with close friends, affects and influences the interactions you have later on. thus, strands formerly braided is a fitting title for this edition of the music fellowship's triptych series because the three featured artists have a long history of improvisation and collaboration.

spiderwebs is the duo of tom carter and sandy ewen. carter is best known for his work with the landmark drone group charalambides, which he formed with longtime creative partner christina carter. since 2002, carter has begun collaborating with a wide range of other artists, from his work with 60’s australian folk poet and songwriter, pip proud, to his improvisations with psychedelic stoner rock band bardo pond. for this release, he teams with sandy ewen who has a long history of improvisation as well, from her membership in houston's meca improvisational ensemble to her performances in the nameless sound collective concert series and austin's no idea festival.

mike tamburo has been a member of the pittsburgh avant garde music scene as an integral part of crystalline drumless drone rock structures of meisha and the more-free flowing ethnic apocalypse music of arco flute foundation, as well as countless spontaneous performances and post-gathering improv sessions. for this recording, we present one the best efforts of these spontaneous performances, reteaming tamburo with matthew mcdowell of arco flute foundation for a minimalist, pacific 23-minute drone.

for over a decade, louisville's r. keenan lawler has been quietly evolving a highly personal and exploratory language on the resonator guitar which has been called "cosmic, monolithic and deeply american". his music is informed by sources ranging from carnatic classical, charles ives, albert ayler, blues, minimalism and non western trance musics. although primarily a solo performer he is best known for his collaborative work. the keyhole ii album he recorded with pelt and metal worker eric clark is one of pelt's most beautiful and memorable recordings, and the recording of his guitar playing in a sewer pipe in louisville is featured on matmos' the civil war. he has also performed or collaborated with a wide range of musicians including rhys chatham, john butcher, charalambides, my morning jacket, kevin drumm, and lukas ligeti. for this release, we present an exclusive recording from lawler, featuring his trademark national steel resonator guitar and his unique method of playing with sound.
