Inner Ear Brigade

Guitarist, composer, and Mills University music structure graduate Costs Wolter has with various Bay Region rings, and formed this adventurous avant-prog clothing in Oakland, California around 2005. Using a quartet lineup of electric guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums, Inner Hearing Brigade self-released the four-song Tummy Human brain EP in the summertime of 2005, citing such affects as Magma, Sunlight Ra, and Frank Zappa. Using a alter in bass players as well as the addition of the saxophonist, the music group extended to a quintet, staying a five-piece until past due in the decade, when Inner Hearing Brigade grew actually bigger with vocalist Melody Ferris, saxophonist Ivor Holloway, and vibraphonist Ryder Shelly becoming a member of the music group. Ferris, Holloway, and unique keyboardist Utmost Stoffregen had been among the seven music artists who became a member of Wolter for the documenting of his ambitious ten-and-a-half-minute structure “25 Kilometers to Independence” at San Francisco’s Tiny Phone studio in ’09 2009. During summer season of the next year, Inner Hearing Brigade were back again at Tiny Phone in an actually larger, ten-piece construction to record even more Wolter compositions — including a revisit of Stomach Brain leadoff monitor “Leg” — for the music group’s first full-length. Wolter, Ferris, and Holloway continued to be through the “25 Kilometers to Independence” session, became a member of by Shelly producing his first documented appearance using the music group aswell as new people Pat Moran (bass), Nick Peck (keyboards), Doug Slot (drums), David Shaff (trumpet), David Slusser (consumer electronics and “Slussomatic”), and Andrew Vernon (keyboards). This year’s 2009 and 2010 paths documented at Tiny Phone were mixed onto the Rainbro recording, released from the Italian AltrOck recording in early 2012. During Rainbro’s launch, the Inner Hearing Brigade site indicated that a lot more lineup adjustments had ensued, using the music group right now a seven-piece including Wolter, Ferris, Holloway, Vernon, and Shaff along with drummer Chris Lauf and bassist Stevo Wright. Additional musicians heard within the group’s EP and LP — as well as some who haven’t made an appearance on Inner Hearing Brigade recordings to day — were considered “honorary people and collaborators in bad sound technology.”
