Zeromoon News May 2008

Cutest Puppy in the World - A Warm Winter mp3 album

http://www.archive. org/details/ zero092

The Cutest Puppy in the World is Bryan Rhodes (of Baltimore) and Layne
Garrett (of Washington, DC). We explore emergent forms, extremes of
saturated and empty space, scorched remnants of the familiar. Our
music is all improvised.

Since the summer of 2005, we have performed extensively in DC and the
mid-Atlantic region alongside many amazing musicians. In 2005, we
self-released a CD-R entitled ::shut in the basement::. It made
free103point9' s Top 150 of 2005. Sockets put out FINFOLK in early
2006, with cover art by renowned collage artist Joseph Mills. The
record received critical praise from Terrascope, Fakejazz, and
Noiseweek, among others. Apotrope came out in April 2007 on New
American Folk Hero, to giddy smiles and shrieks of delight the world
over. And now A warm winter here on Zeromoon.

These two improvisations were recorded on January 23, 2008 in
Washington, DC. Instrumentation includes prepared/de- tuned guitar,
various keyboards/synthesiz ers, found objects, and voice. We were
wearing t-shirts in our unheated basement.
