Through a >highly developed process of layering, Jeff composes and performs >music rich in texture, depth, mood, and subtle detail. Using various >acoustic and electronic instruments, found sounds, and extended >studio techniques, he sculpts sound worlds that conjure a strong >sense of place, hovering somewhere between the exotic and the >familiar. > >Jeff began composing and performing music in 1980 while studying >meteorology at Pennsylvania State University. After moving to >Seattle in 1982, Jeff formed the production company and recording >label INTREPID, through which he produced his first LP, Cities in >Fog. He has since released over twenty other recordings on various >U.S. and European labels. His most recent is Wide View, released >August 2002 on Hypnos. Jeff's music can also be heard on numerous >compilation recordings. He has composed music for film, video, >dance, theatre, radio, and art installations. Jeff has toured >extensively throughout the United States and Europe and has performed >in China, Canada, and Mexico. He has also been a member of numerous >ensembles and is founder of the group LAND. Jeff's current ongoing >project is a collaboration with former Sky Cries Mary vocalist Anisa >Romero called Hana. In April 2001 they released their second album >entitled Omen. > >Rob Angus has been working in sound and video production since 1982, >and composing and performing since 1975. He received his Bachelor of >Arts degree in Fine Arts from Pennsylvania State University in 1980, >having studied music composition and theory, electronic music, film, >sculpture, theatre, and a basic liberal arts curriculum. During his >residence in Seattle from 1982 to 1991, he performed frequently in a >variety of contexts, from duos and trios to bands, performance pieces >and dance pieces, in galleries, museums, festivals and clubs, from >San Francisco to Vancouver, Canada. > >Angus's professional experience include commissions to do sound >installations, compose soundtracks for radio and television >commercials, compose scores for dance pieces and videos, work as >production assistant at Frank Video and sound production at Muzak. He >also works as a photographer. He is primarily interested in abstract >form, texture and color. He frequently processes his images on photo >copy machines to enhance contrast, play with form and overlay images, >and he has also found ways to use these enhanced images in >three-dimensional sculptures. > -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Goldsmith kevin@unitcircle.com Unit Circle Media http://www.unitcircle.com ------------------------------------------------------------- New From Unit Circle: Intonarumori - "Material" http://www.unitcircle.com/rekkids/releases/tUC075/ --
