about Company of Big Beats
Two Friends from High school with a "Destiny of Reconstruction".
Always thinking ahead of our time and depressed over the curses innovation brought to us, Andy and I pursued a 4 year improvisation that would kick start the junk of our minds with musical tools at hand to the "serene chaos of audiotopia".
4 Years of religious 4-track recordings and live playing rocketed us to the far reaches of the galaxy. Fueled with Raman noodle burritos, coffee, cigarettes and countless other stimulants Andy and I didn't sleep well at night, forced to record what you hear today..Company of Big Beats.
I'm convinced C.O.B.B to this day has an important role in defining what really was happening in Chicago at the time -a transparent driving force in the "no-form" music scene in the mid to late 90's.
Nothing domesticated about our sound- no sir.
Interestingly enough, to have our music here, 10 years later, accessible for listeners at hand -means something..
Our sounds were our creations that we loved and they want to heard now.so here you have it,
acoustic and electric..bass and drums... loops and feedback.. sax,violins and flutes, what ever we got our hands on
-it didn't matter- throw it into the mix anyway-anyhow.
Playing free.. playing with passion. That's all we cared about.
A big thanks goes to Digitech's loop pedals that came out in the early 90's -it practically created our sound!
