What is the aural equivalent of scribble? UKOR's sound emanates from unique handmade, traditional, and modern instrumentation. Our musical scribble excites astonishment and improvisitional groove via our method of exposition.Band/artist history
Formed in 1991, UnKindness Of Ravens (UKOR) initially experimented with sound as a method of group consciousness modification. Over time, these experiments coelesced into the formation of a new practice in music-making. UKOR recordings include the sounds of many individually-crafted and unique instruments, some recurring on different albums, some not; recordings also include traditional instruments and modern devices but never include material sampled from non-band created sources. UKOR's music has no samples and is not collage. Our creation--musical scribble, is a blend of the excitement, astonishment, and groove in improvisition with our method of reverse composition, which we call exposition. Our third album will be released in late August/September of 2003.What equipment do you use?
aluminum shavings, ashtray, bass, bongos, bottle-o-itchagen, cake pan, chopsticks (wood and metal), coins, cruncharoundaphone, criscolastic, tongues, drums, duct tape, panhandle, didgeridoo, dietocussion, guitar (electric and acoustic), harmonica, kazoo, UKOR natural beat algorithm, skin, metal scraps, Spirit-of-Juanita, pitchilbocks, Roland JV-30, coffee drum, spoons, violin (electric and acoustic), voices, bottlecap cardboard gourd rattle, waterbotafan, flute, wood whistle, glass, and many others.Anything else?

Thanks friends... it's been a difficult year for us, we'd intended to publish a new album by the end of the year but it's looking a bit dismal right now. We've actually recorded a massive amount of new material and are aiming at finishing a double album in 2006.
