2 B-Sides Available
Bermuda Triangle' @ I, Absentee is an outlet for them to present free extra tracks of artists connected with the label. Due to the nature of the concept, most files are unmastered and the older audio may contain surface noise in the original recordings. There are two Trills tracks added to the collective: "Blood ...Orange" is a Modular Puzzle demo outtake, and "Joguko" is a newer track that I quite like, but isn't fitting the flow of the rest of my more recent output.

Peach Genesis
My good friend Dissolved Paul runs an excellent music blog called
"Quagmire of the Antler People" to share mixtapes and this week I
contributed a mix of some tunes that inspire me that I've called "Peach
Genesis".
http://quagmireoftheantlerpeople.blogspot.com/2010/10/peachy-keen.html
As we enter the month of Samhain, we have an exciting hectic, maybe spooky but definitely fish fueled generous time ahead of us here at the Quagmire. Hopefully our eccentric listeners will have filled up on the previous mixes because here comes another, and we are happy to say this time it comes from an eager outsider, possibly an astral traveler, who has arrived from a distant star holding a small flashing device filled with audio greatness. Or it could simply be excellent electronic experimental musician type, Trills/Jonathan Jindra disguised as such a being.
Regardless of what form the traveler appears as, the sonic quavers he brings are tasty and are mysteriously headed under the name "Peach Genesis" which we think is really cool. Is this the name of another planet capable of sustaining life not as we know it or is it the name of an edible book, or perhaps an exotic mantra. We have a pet cat called Genesis actually who has back legs like a rabbit and sometimes when he meows, no sound comes out. Sound most certainly does come out here though so enjoy and listen to the excellent Failure, who don't live up to their name with some grinding melodies and emotional tones that aren't Emo, the lush Boreal Network who bring some warm synths to watch silent 80's science programs to and the slow 'Low' try and run away with your eternal organs, mainly your heart only using the singers sparkling voice, who appears to have originated from a planet where the term "tone deaf" doesn't exist. Pan Sonic have been living in your membranes for their entire existence and are the sound of electronic rain falling inside a cheese grater which is slowly rubbing up against your internal band pass filter while you visit the Arctic.

Sequenza 21 Article
http://www.sequenza21.com/2010/08/trills-this-sunday-august-29th-in-houston-tx/
"Jonathan Jindra’s weekly experimental music concerts Binarium Sound Series continues 8pm Sunday nights here in Houston, Texas at The Mekong Underground, 2808 Milan Street (right next to Kohn’s bar). This is a wonderful series where you will hear intimate performances by local and visiting artists performing composed, improvised, electronic, and acoustic experimental music.
This Sunday’s August 29th Binarium program features Jonathan’s electronica project Trills. Trills is manifested in Jonathan’s live performances as well as several online digital releases – many being collaborations with other similarly minded artists. His recent full length split with Glasgow artist Dissolved entitled PH:14 has been his most successful release to date with over 43,000 downloads in its first month of release. Trills’ repertoire to my ears has roots its in groundbreaking synthesizer and electronic artists and ensembles like Tangerine Dream, Vangelis (especially his soundtrack to Bladerunner) and Popol Vuh. Jonathan name checked for me a handful of more contemporary artists as influences, including Boards of Canada, Pan Sonic, and Autechre.
I’ve listened to a bunch of Jonathan’s music and still feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of his talents and repertoire. And I don’t want to pigeonhole Trills with only a cursory familiarity of countless 21st century electronic artists that flood the web trading digital files of original groundbreaking music the way I traded cassette tapes of the same back in the day. The best thing to do is go to the Trills website and enjoy the music and video samples, and then forget what you’ve heard when you check out this Sunday’s show. Jonathan’s set will be accompanied by custom video projection. About This Product joins Trills on this bill."

Binarium Sound Series
http://www.binariumsoundseries.com/
I am now hosting a weekly experimental series entitled "Binarium Sound Series" at The Mekong Underground outside of Khon's Bar in Houston, TX at 2808 Milam. I'm taking over the concert series previously named Resonant Interval Sound Series who was run by Lance Higdon who created quite a name for himself in the Houston noise music community, partly by DJing the Genetic Memory show at 91.7 KTRU, but more effectively by being a great communicator of the abstract and he served as a hub for a scattered, yet extensive area of Texas music. He is moving to Atlanta to teach Latin at a Catholic University at the end of the month so he is passing the show off to me, which I have renamed "Binarium Sound Series" which shares part of it's name with a track off the Trills release 'Modular Puzzle'.
