Neon Magus
Project between friends looking to experiment with Free Jazz, Noise Rock, Punk, Funk, No-Fi, Experimental, Ambient, and Psychedelic. All the recordings are lo-fi single mic setups in Rye's basement--production is minimal, and based on the impulses of improv. Check out http://myspace.com/neonmagus for full versions of a few songs.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Pretty much a basic loose improvisational concept proposed to a couple people that have worked together before to work on over the summer, maybe carry on if the school situation is right.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yea.
