The Emperors of Gnouv

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD/STREAM FROM BANDCAMP!!
This album came from three recorded jams from March. This music is entirely improvised! Nothing was planned out ahead of time - we simply plugged in, and played. I feel like on all three sessions, our band was totally on. While small groups of us had been playing together in different parts of California and in different bands, we hadn't played all together as a unit in three months or so, and when we all got together, the music exploded! Enjoy this recording, and look for future albums and shows from the Emperors of Gnouv!!

Somnium and the Quantum Round LP



CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
This album is the funky, freaky, sometimes dream-like result of the past two months of instrumental jamming and recording. All the musicians in The Quantum Round are improvisers, which means that even the ideas we compose prior to playing will be played differently every time. The music is a combination of our familiarity improvising with each other, exploration, experimentation, and uncertainty.

Track Listing:
1) Who is it That Knows
2) A Universe From Nothing
3) !
4) Boat on a Moonbow
5) Layin' Low
6) Trinth
7) As Heard Through the Haze
8) Sly Musings
9) *Island Part III (Under the Stars)

Personnel:
Somnium - Guitar, Samples, Signal Processing, Production
Shrub - Bass
Crags - Drums
Featuring:
Antimi - Keyboards (Tracks 4, 5, 6, and 8)
Billy The Pimp - Drums (Tracks 6 and 8)
Iris - Keyboards, Electronic Effects, Percussion (Tracks 1,2, and 9)
Pappa-J - Percussion (Tracks 1 and 2)
Renz - Album Art
Layne Scheiner - Graphics
*Sample by Robert Fripp
