notes
In the Eventide Album, The Nimoys let the lyrics begin to fall away in favor for complex beats and atmospheric narrative. This album was produced in 2003 in Manhattan and Los Angeles. At the San Francisco Academy of Art, the song "Windshield Flakes" was used by artist Juan Carlos Anorga in "Wormy Worms," a 30 second spot for a kid's TV channel. "Beating" is a film score Marc did for Li Xu (2002), a clever dark short film about a man driven to insanity by the beating of his murder victim's heart, produced at the UCLA department of Design | Media Arts.
Josh and Marc Nimoy were raised in Los Angeles California. Marc is majoring in music at UCLA while working on film scores, teaching guitar, and doing experimental electronic performance. Josh is a new media artist, working in design and media research, while attending Interactive Telecommunications Program at the Tisch School of Arts in New York University. The brothers have been creating music together since they were very little, stemming from a need to communicate with each other and with the world around them.

Intense, glassy and distilled tones drawn from the sounds of videogames, high and low frequency beats peppering drawn-out phrases, pecking holes in a long, stretched-out melodic thought, dancing with the possibility of pure randomness, one step away from the samples composing themselves, delving into the stripping of soundwaves, taking a guitar lick and slowly unwinding it, taking the stance that all is "game" for their soundplay. These approaches begin to capture the far too rare approach to their album- one of genuine curiosity, possibility; one of "why not?!"s and "what if?!"s. As wiry threads dodge and tumble around thicker, more lush tones, the high-strung samples dart in and out from among the more ambling qualities, multi-layered textures of diverse color and mood are juxtaposed with a sense of spontaneity, yet not without meaning. Similar in style to groups like Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and Autechre, the album prods the brain much like a kaleidoscope where lucid colors and abstract geometrical patterns, pulled by gravity but seeming to move with their own will, inject fleeting imagery and fractal-like impressions onto the mind, leaving behind an indefinite sensation. In a nutshell? Kick Ass.
