---------------------------------------

Mora is a trio of electronic improvisers consisting of Brent Gutzeit [of
TVpow & Wheaton Research], Philip von Zweck [of Seafoam], and Jason
Soliday [gunshop, Coeurl] all of whom play computers and/or other electronic
devices.  Mora's sound ranges from quite pretty loops of tones and samples,
field recordings, bits of harddrive detritus, and full on
bursts of static and noise.

Mora recordings are available from Bake,  and Crank Satori. New releases on
Boxmedia, and Aesova will be available spring/summer 2002.

'...I wasn't sure when sounds of an evening at the Ottobar became a sound
orchestration of Mora's. I could have sworn that it was just a dump truck
backing up outside somewhere in the distance - until it became a scalpel
sharp laser surgery tone that carved out a space for itself inside my
head. A warm little burrow from which it invited in the modest wafting veils
of
sound/hiss coming from those giant PA speakers and those three guys
standing on stage. Although it was not their expressed intent, the piece
turned
into a nice John Cage homage as I kept listening harder, expecting the sound
to
really kick in, over powering the dirty hiss of the kicked around
screaming punk-rock Ottobar PA and everyone at the bar who refused to shut
up.
Neither happened but instead the two blurred quite nicely. The muffled
conversations in the audience, vaporous pulsed aural bits, rumbling traffic
outside, the
sound of a digital watch alarm, all woven together in an inextricable
collage of ambiguous soundscape. It ended as unsuddenly as it began. Or
should I say continued?' -Nick Barma, PEEKreview

-----------------------------------

A note about Mora's lineup & nomenclature...    b+j+p=Mora. mora is Brent
Gutzeit of TVPow and Wheaton Research; Jason Soliday of the cracked
electronics group, gunshop, solo as Coeurl,and sometimes of Seafoam; and
Philip von Zweck of Seafoam, and host of nationally known experimental
radio show 'Something Else'... and then it gets complicated: any two of them
can
also be mora, as long as the missing member is designated with a -.
therefore we have Mora -b, Mora -j, Mora -p. even worse, they often invite
others to perform with them, resulting in such novel equations as
Mora -b+k... 'Additional' members have included Andreas Berthling, Boris
Hauf [efzig], and Kyle Bruckmann [EKG, Lozenge].
