Trees" is a new project from COP SHOOT COP member JIM COLEMAN. His creative work has transitioned over the years into a unique blend of cinematic, electro-acoustic music. "Trees" is an intensely personal yet universally transcendent sonic experience and features some extremely talented musicians working with Jim. Kirsten McCord plays cello; she has a release on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label, and has worked with musicians such as Elliott Smith, Vic Chesnutt and Jarboe. Phil Puleo, drummer of Cop Shoot Cop and Swans, plays a variety of instruments, from wood flute to a variety of percussion. Dawn McCarthy adds vocals to two tracks. Dawn has several releases as Faun Fables on the Drag City label. Ellen Fullman plays her self -created long stringed instrument on two of the tracks as well. Ellen's music has been represented at The Whitney Museum, Lincoln Center and The Walker Arts Center. This material is beat driven electronica, firmly rooted in sound collage with a strong cinematic sensibility. Classically trained in piano and French horn, JIM COLEMAN exploded onto the indie rock scene in the 1990s with his seminal NYC band, Cop Shoot Cop, playing alongside the likes of Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore, Helmet, and Marilyn Manson. CSC released four full- length albums and several EP's and Singles on Big Cat and Interscope Records. Coleman also co-directed several of their music videos. Coleman also has had two notable collaborations. The first was with Italian composer Teho Teardo and was called HERE. The second was with J.G. Thirlwell as BABY ZIZANIE. Coleman on-goingly continues his sonic and visual explorations, creating original music and remixes as PHYLR and continuing his forays in to the world of experimental video. He is also currently working on an ambient follow up to "Trees", which is based on recordings of individual's near death experiences. Record Label: Wax & Wane Style: Independent
