Thuja

A collaboration between experimental pianist Rob Reger, sound manipulator Loren Chasse, guitarist Steven R. Smith, and Smith collaborator Glenn Donaldson, Thuja is among the most bizarre and experimental rings to sophistication the Emperor Jones label. Merging found noises, strangely performed traditional musical instruments, Spaghetti Western-style electric guitar function, and dissonant improvisations, Thuja produces their complicated jams on albums like Suns and Ghost Plant life, where their organic experimentation frequently ebbs and moves with a organised experience without bowing towards the conventions of traditional songwriting. Arriving together round the change of the hundred years, the ensemble’s function is often supplementary to the average person projects from the musicians involved.
