Music that is Musically Challenged
Ambient project created by Jaron Eldon of Obsolete Donkey, Gavin and Pete later joined.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
This ambient project was the brain child of Jaron Eldon. After he announced that he had commenced work on an ambient project, two guys from England contacted him and said that they would like to take part in the project. The first album, "After the Sky Falls..." was written by Jaron Eldon, Pete Nigel, and Gavin Stewart.
Now, their next album is in the works. Pete recently got married to his long time girlfriend, moved out of Essex, and left the group (with no hard feelings, mind). Evan Lindley, a local friend of Jaron's joined the group and has been contributing to the new album in multiple ways.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
It's incredibly hard to play soundscapes such as our's live.
