Jamie Green/Pauline Lay/Jarvis Earnshaw
JAMIE GREEN
Jamie Green is an improvisatory music maker from Los Angeles. Incorporating amplified violin, alto saxophone, tar (drum) and electronics, his rigorously naivist sound unfurls by tapping into hints of a Hindustani classical modality and a tendency toward ephemeral geometrical structures, interlocking melodic and rhythmic forms which tend to appear and recede just as quickly, actions not unlike ripples of folding water. Similar techniques are applied in his use of rhythmic and repetitive vocables, linked to his work as a published poet, which induce a heightened sensation of word-shapes while remaining primarily abstract-musical.

JARVIS EARNSHAW

His musical career as well as his Art career has been recognized worldwide, having solo exhibitions, residencies and performances throughout the world, including Fuji Rock Festival '03, Europe, India and across America to Lincoln Center New York.
His work is often described as a cinematic experience, utilizing acoustic guitar, sitar, modified audio cassette tapes and open reel tapes; provoking memories of past and beyond, warm and rich as does the noise from a record needle touching an LP; at times violently explosive yet soothing and irresistible.

He contributes as musical director for Rumi Missabu of the legendary 60's psychedelia troupe The Cockettes, and also plays bass in the punk band QUESTION which released their first full length LP in Autumn 2016 through US label Fashionable Idiots.
