"Improvisation is one of the oldest traditions in jazz, and when it's employed by those who seek to explode tradition, the results are exhilarating. This is the new new music, an up-to-date message from jazz avant garde; the music is alive and well, and Earth People is one of its strongest contributors." - Florence Wetzel (All About Jazz NY)

"This is New World music, a New Age free jazz fusion poetry funk gumbo whose geography is not only the planet but the soul." -Terrell Holmes (All About Jazz NY)

Deth Boat

Insane 3-piece guitar bass drums combo that makes you ask how far.

Installations

The Sounds of Seismology

If you were standing on the surface of Earth during an earthquake, you would hear a low rumble at the bottom of your ears’ limits of perception; the rest you would feel. Now imagine you are deep inside Earth, listening to the earthquakes popping and ringing around the surface.

A collaboration between sound designer Jason Candler & geophysicist Ben Holtzman. A sound ring was constructed in October 2006 to play back the sounds of wave propagation within the earth. The exhibit is in constant evolution as new versions are being developed for museums, schools, and public installations.

Festivals

Ese ... What if ... Festival

New York

Trumpeter Luca Fadda & Jason Candler started the annual Ese Festival in 2005 as a means to bring together artists who don't ordinarily perform together. The project seems to be working, as new collaborations have been springing up in the few years since the inception.
