Album Notes

"Living Cultures 2002" continues from "Living Cultures 2001" this time with a theme of collaboration high on the set of priorities. Collaborations with bay area rapper, Manips, activist songwriter, Freak Boy Soul, and local Rock n Rollers Fojimoto all contributed to the Petri Disk sound in 2002 along with many others far and wide. Also of note is a remix of the New York Jazz/Rockers Gutbucket's song Rock N Roll which appeared on their 2001 Knitting Factory Records release, "Insomniac's Dream". As always the blend of genres is unique but the soul of each song stays intact with an approach that is specific to each piece's intention and direction.

Petri Disk Studios is a Pro-Tools home studio based in Oakland, CA and produces local artists of all types while also serving as the base of operations for local songwriter/musician/producer Splintered Tree and the infamous DJ Drunken Monkey who is now signed to San Francisco's Sunburn Records www.sunburn.org.
