UN-ECM by Static Disruptors 1980
This band arose my freshman year in college. In the fall four of us had been playing in an ECM-like acoustic jazz group doing free improv. Then our friend Craig came back from winter break and said "fuck free jazz, punk is where it's at." And so we became a punk band, with Craig singing. Or was it a post-punk band? It was hard to tell in Appleton, WI.
I left after my freshman year to play in a new wave cover band, they found a great replacement on bass, Matt Gaines, and then a year later moved to DC and became a hip hop band.

I was born.
Then I started playing music.
Then I stopped,
Then I started again.
Many times.
It's always been fun.
A lot of it went unrecorded. Some got recorded, and some of that is here.
The bottom three albums are two college bands and one post-college.
The top 5/6 albums are free jamming outfits (not for everyone!). The middle 6 are solo albums where I made up, sang, and played everything.
