// Trills / Charlie Naked - əˈnɛmənii

[click to enlarge]

The final album by Trills. The cover drawings were by Denis Cisneros, who also plays guitar on a couple of tracks. I was given access to his sketchbook, from which I assembled several collages for the cover images.

It's a real shame that this is the final Trills release, because it is probably my favorite thing Jonathan has done thus far. Absolutely beautiful pieces that weave between acoustic sound collages, radiating synthesizer waves, and manipulated piano/guitar pieces. A beautiful final statement from Trills.



The Charlie Naked half consists of enormous deep drones, constantly shifting focal points before you. This is stuff you get lost in. Created with a plethora of instruments at his home studio in Houston, TX. Naked's been doing it since 1995 and it shows.

I am proud to finally share my artwork for Blue Metabolic Sunrise, the next album by Trills. This collection of retro-futuristic passages finds Jonathan Jindra experimenting with bubbly, analog textures. Many of the songs are based off of live improvisations on various synthesizers. This approach lends itself to a wonderfully organic sound.

The album will be released on cd-digipak, and as a digital download on Retronym Records. For the digital download, I designed a different psychedelic image to go along with each of the nine songs. Download your copy here to see them all.

// Binarium Logo

Here is the logo I created for Binarium Productions as well as the Binarium Sound Series.

Founded by Jonathan 'Trills' Jindra, the Binarium Sound Series is a weekly experimental music series in Houston, TX. They focus on showcasing noise, abstract electronica, free jazz, dance and film featuring a strong interest in new modalities of musical expression. The shows take place at The Mekong Underground (outside of Khon's Bar) at 2808 Milam St.

Accidentally took my time in getting this one up. Created July, 2010.
