Above is the three panel, multi-color, hand silk-screen that encloses these two
disc worth (over 120 minutes) of music created and recorded by John Krausbauer
(guitar) and Bryan Eubanks (tape, tape player, and soprano saxophone) in John's
kitchen in the Rexall Building in Portland, Oregon, during April of 2004. The
sessions that lead to this recording were occuring about every saturday for months
leading up to the time of the recording and captured the music right at it's most
refined point before a deptarture to pure beating-tone drone music (a two disc
set of this work is to be released on Rasbliutto in Spring of 2006). This work is much more sparse, slow, and quiet, but essentially contains the
same elements of drone to be found in the duos current collaboration: no real
beginnings or endings, no narrative, and it is definently easy to get lost in
this music.
John Krausbauer lives in Portland and plays guitar in his own projects Tecumseh,
Bunny, City of Churches, and does his own solo work. When he was more active in
the Portland improvised music circle he released about 10 recordings on his small
label Urantia, one of which is the much revered Don Brown and Dan Reynolds release,
"As Don approaches Dan", in addition to quite a few groups that are also on this
site...
