Album Notes

"How did you make THAT SOUND? It *^&%#@ smoked my tweeters!!" - true earwitness testimony.

"...reminds me of a rube goldberg machine...funky."

Slambient. Slambient. Slambient.

EIS IJS ICE (all pronounced like 'ice') is the result of a flurry of noisemaking experimentation using looping stompboxes, sleeplessness, the Gittler (a wonderful instrument), basses, guitars, metallic junk, and tape. The result is ambient music with a sharp edge. Each piece is sonic view of an arctic land or seascape
on another planet somewhere.

White started playing guitars and basses at 12 or 13, first learning punchy commercial rock, but then moving into heavy metal and progrock psychedelia. Then came punk and the departure from blues and rock tradition in his playing and composition. Even from the beginning of this encounter with sound, he experimented with spring reverbs converted into instruments, machine noises, gadgets, phasers.

bleedin' frenetically amazin'...

Having known this artist since wayyyyyyyyyy before he gave me my first orange plastic kay fuzzbox, I'm glad to say that Jeff is still doing what he does best, creating vast and incredible sonic landscapes if ya close your eyes and listen. If only you heard what he was capable of as a kid with a univox beatle bass and a few toys you'd be amazed. Jeff's music is unique and industrially cool. Righteous Bro, Nice Work! pink jimi photon

Good noise/ambient/guitar
author: Rasmus Drews
Jeffrey Brian White knows how to work his instruments - both the electronic and the real. "Eis Ijs Ice" is an athmospheric blend of skilled guitarwork, electric noise and background ambience. The guitar works well with the electronics and makes this release stand out in a field populated by pure electro noise. Some more variety, however, would have been welcome. But still: worth checking out for a different take on the ambient noise genre.
