BRAINS 3rd album is out now on iTunes, amazon and as always at edgetonerecords.com
The blurb goes as follows:
"Unloaded" unravels from the bipolar fusion of Chris Golinski and Drew Ceccato. Their most recent ideo-motor outpouring serves up a journey of raw sonic viscera for the listener in three cathartic courses. Through timbre, texture and time - Brains' improvisations wail forth in sheer acoustic spears that open ears to tame your unsuspecting reptilian brain.

Brains 3rd Album 'UNLOADED' coming soon!!
Chris and I are really pumped about this new album. Even though it's being released 4 months after our 2nd album 'Gristle and Skins'; a year and a half passed between the two recording sessions.
In that time our playing has changed so much both personally and as an ensemble. In our other albums each track is a kind of self-contained composition where we consciously tried to show our diversity. However, in this new album we worked on it more as a traditional composition, meaning that we had written music (gasp!) on stands and worked out how the music would flow ahead of time. I personally feel that this allowed the music to reach a new level due to the fact that we were free to focus on much smaller aspects of the music because the larger structures were worked out prior to the performance.
As usual, the record will be available through edgetone records and will be out the third week of October.

Duo album with James Fei on Contrabass Clarinet album out soon
James Fei and I have been hard at work on recording a piece of his for two contrabass clarinets. The piece is comprised of two parts, the first slow, continuous held notes in the upper which we allow harmonics to come in and out of the texture creating the illusion of there being more than two players at times. The second part is at the very bottom of the contra range is aggressive attack after aggressive attack. The piece builds until the attacks overwhelm everything and take over completely.
The album will be out soon and for the time being will only be available on reel-to-reel tape.....I'm trying to talk james into a digital version but i don't think he's going to concede that one.

Brains second album 'Gristle and Skins' out now on Edgetone Records
Brains second album 'Gristle and Skins' is out now on Edgetone Records!
It's available from the following link edgetone records
This album is much different that our first record which was much more episodic. Gristle and Skins has a much more developmental approach to each piece where the music flows and changes in a number of different ways. The pieces range from intense overblown sax and slamming drums to eerie whistles and bowed cymbals.
I hope you check it out.

CEMEC CalArts
Played a great show with Brian Pear (drew ceccato, evan adams and carson whitley) at CalArts over the weekend for the CEMEC computer music festival. Things went really well and I should have a video up shortly that apparently was streamed live from the CalArts website. It's always exciting when you show up to a gig and they have the biggest pair of Meyer subwoofers you've ever seen sitting on the ground. Some major woof and tweet action.
This coming Friday we play again at UCSD in a 32 channel blackbox. Obviously very excited.
Teaser from an earlier performance....
