Search - Variable Unit, Vu :: Seven Grain

Through the tracking of live performances and innovative studio work, Seven Grain has candidly captured the birth of an evolving musical genre. Seven Grain merges rare innovative musical mediums with a live feel. Recorded mainly on Feb. 28 and 29th, 2000, the tracks stem either directly from a series of 'Live Issued Product' shows Variable Unit had done (where the concert is recorded and sold during the show), or from rehearsals for the shows on these two dates. The musicians who performed in this line-up of VU were: Matt Montgomery-Bass, Kat Ouano-Keys, Ron E. Beck-Drums, DJ Zeph-turntables, Gregory Howe-Guitar, Jon Birdsong-Trumpet, and Azeem. Guitar legend Calvin Keys played on one date, as did bassoonist and saxophonist Paul Hanson. The shows were recorded by Ben Conrad, and subsequent mixing and editing were performed by DJ Zeph, Ben Conrad and Gregory Howe.
