Bio
.. ......www.porest.com....................For hundreds of years, Oakland, California's POREST has exploited reckless composition, performance and worldwide documentation via multi-instrumentation, field recordings, perverse cut-uppers, dirty bomb audio downers and whatever else gets in the way. On full-length albums released by Seeland, Resipiscent and Abduction records, Porest has issued a confounding collection of music and audio works ranging from mangled pop and surrealist radio-dramas to diabolical protean ear-wash. Gergis is a contributor to the Sublime Frequencies label, producing collections of rare music, film, field and regional radio recordings from the Middle East, Asia and beyond. He is also a founding member of the shape-shifting Bay Area group MONO PAUSE and its Southeast Asian permutation, NEUNG PHAK, among others. ****Hear Porest on Abduction Records: TOURRORISTS! cd***On Resipiscent: MOOD NOOSE cd *****On Seeland: PRUDE JUICE for the HERITAGE SWINGER cd. ========================================================== ...The previous Porest myspace site was deleted without warning on September 28, 2006 for "violations" (see the blog "ISRAEL: Grand Finale" for more info) And now, here, it lives again.....There's always porest.com in case I'm shut down again.

Sounds Like
A few select people dying at this very moment or a giant school bus with tinted windows. Also sounds like instrumental songs of political sabotage.

Negate genre and dogma by avoiding both, without denying either. ========================================================== The previous Porest myspace site was deleted without warning on September 28, 2006 for "violations" (see the blog "ISRAEL:Grand Finale" for more info) And now, here, it lives again.....There's always porest.com in case I'm shut down again.......... .. .. .. ..Description:.. .. .. .. .. .. ..
