Marcus Rubio is the name of Marcus Rubio who leads this project in all of it's various directions. He often tries to write tone clustered polyrhythmic arrangments like Krzysztof Penderecki or Terry Riley but it often comes out sounding a lot like "Off The Wall" by Michael Jackson-not that he has a problem with this of course. Marcus has 3 CDs, the most current of which is the Life Of Pillows-an expansive lo-fi orchestral folk record. Right now, he's working on a new record/all out musical/theatrical production tentatively titled I'm Scared or Oceanic Tremors. This piece will examine modern day fear and paranoia- through the eyes of whales-as if played by Woody Allen and Diane Keaton. He plays the violin,guitar, and synth live with the aid of a looper pedal live and the aide of an enormous cast of musicians(frequently dubbed the Gospel Choir of Pillows) that runs the gamut from french horns, celli,violas,bass clarinets, saxaphones and trombones to synths, samplers,theremins, and trashcans. Marcus(who is referring to himself in the 3rd person) is a member of Moth!Fight! and contributes violin work (and other stuff too sometimes) to a number of artists and bands such as Bill Baird and Silent Sunset,Leatherbag,Real Live Tigers,Blowing Trees,Azul,Bunyphonic,Buttercup,Eaton Lake Tonics,Druggist,W-S Burn,Matt The Electrician, Jon Dee Graham,Karrie Hopper and more! He loves the music-and beatz. If you would like to purchase some CDs they can be found at Hogwild and 180 Grams in San Antonio but the easiest way is through directly contacting me/him for a copy!!!
