Jeremy has been performing as the Wicker Basket since 2003.

Wicker Basket has released two CDs to date, and several mp3s both free and for sale.

The first release "Random Templates" is mostly instrumental experimentation with patterns of samples that were arranged accidentally. The overall feel of the CD is rough and is comprised of 21 short songs.


The most recent release, "design cutter" was built on the concept of each track being a collaboration with local performers and friends of the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. Most of the tracks were recorded live in the studio with the contributors and feature a wide array of vocal processing styles and orchestration. Instruments that can be found on the CD include: sampler, synthesizer, drum machine, guitar (electric and acoustic), organ, live drums, E-Bow, bass, photo-theremin, musical saw, and micro-cassette recorders.

Aphex Twin, Autechre, Boards of Canada, Pan Sonic, Future Sound of London, Underworld, Mum, DJ Shadow, Kool Keith, Wu-Tang, Good Looking Records, Chemical Brothers, Bjork, David Holmes, AIR, Stereolab, Orb, Kraftwerk, Daft Punk, white noise, wicker, baskets, wicker baskets...

Synthesizers, samplers, guitar, photo-theremin, micro-cassettes, 4-track recorders... all hardware, no software.

I write all my own parts. There are no "borrowed" or "preset" beats or melodies.

Everything is original.
