Mother Brain Records

Mother Brain seeks to cultivate musical culture (improvisation, composition, electronics, new music) from Kansas City, the greater Midwest, and beyond.

The album is a "mishmash" of improvisational ephemera and bold first impressions exchanged via email, a digital nod to the heritage of Japanese Mail Art. Each artist recorded five solo performances, which were then sent to the other to be layered and re-interpreted.
