The Experiment gave chef/author Lukas Volger a bunch of $$ to experiment with recipes, and go all over testing different burgers and methods, which at long last has culminated in a book of the best from Lukas’s kitchen.

You are familiar with Steve Brooks. Yes, you are… He’s the guy committed to blowing out your headphone speakers with his band Torche. Well, before that he was in a band that was committed to making you poop yourself called FLOOR, and guess what?

Vessel, a new song from Grouper off her split 12” with Christchurch NZ guitarist Roy Montgomery. Grouper is Portland Oregon’s Liz Harris, a solo ambient soundscape experiment focusing mainly on guitars, piano, vocals and noise. Liz creates a huge amount of music and has an incredible catalogue. On this split, side A is an 18+ min Roy Montgomery track, and Grouper offers 4 songs on side B. (2010).
From Root Strata site:
“We do not & will not have hard copies of this 12” to sell. Roy Montgomery offers up a live version of “fantasia on a theme by sandy bull (slight return)’ recorded in Christchurch, NZ. Grouper’s side ‘Vessel’ is comprised of four short pieces on piano & vocals. Please see the links page for a list of our digital distributors.”

If you’re like us, you like sound. You love sound. You feel sound. Part of your love and fascination w music lies the in the power (tangible/intangible) of sonic communication in its many shapes and forms. We love noise, no matter how it is (dis-) organized. As such, we are going to start posting more ambient/noise/drone/experimental music. We knew you’d be excited, we have so much in common.
