One song () has been partially vocally recorded, but the music for it has not yet been composed (although, to our credit, it does have an interesting vocal !--, which we wanted to experiment with for the purpose of composition).
John Ohno
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We started out in June 2005 with John Ohno and Doug Bray, who learnt of one another's musical capacities and, in mutual pining for an outlet for such things, merged together their musical beings into a single ego they called "Standard Input".
Hanju Roe came in around December 2005 to fill in the need for more than one instrumentalist. His conciousness was very tasty.
In June of 2006, Nicole Sestito joined to fill in as composer and vocalist.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We do not play live quite yet, though we'd like to at some point.
