About I and I

I and I is one of the creative projects of multi-instrumentalist, artist, and gardener Adam Sarmiento. His latest release, "White Noise/Black Music," is a reflective dance record that blends post-everything with electronic earthiness and the kind of thoughtful, provocative lyrics that one doesn't always expect to accompany such movement-inducing grooves.

Following stints as drummer and writer with the New Tribe, the Pistol Arrows, and the Candles, Adam invested in some recording gear and set about experimenting with sounds and styles, eventually resurfacing with his debut record, "We Are," in hand. That album was suffused with energy and soul, and was something of a raw affair, but also elaborate and adorned with an assortment of synths, basses, guitars, vocal harmonies, and, or course, beats aplenty. Indeed, one of the many things that sets this guy apart from many other solo ventures is the complexity of the drum and percussion arrangements that undergird the songs. His second release, the 2006 EP "Music Computer Film," saw Adam following his exploratory muse on mostly instrumental material, crafting music that was both more sonically distinct and more refined, and, as the record's title suggests, more cinematic.

At present, I and I is taking the songs from the new record to the live setting. Check out the show listings for upcoming dates.

For more details on Adam's past activities, including his involvement with the bands, New Tribe, The Pistol Arrows and The Candles, visit www.alchemistrecords.com.

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.

"White Noise/Black Music" turns out to be (among other things) an album which merges perfectly with a spring-like sunny Autumn morning in Kawasaki. Contributes to the "up" feeling biggly!

Yo I and Iasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.

Cool man. I haven't heard of any of those bands, I'll check them all out when I get a chance. Lately I've been listening to a lot of Battles, Menomena, and Grizzly Bear. I'm going to Lollapalooza this weekend. Looking forward to seeing Fleet Foxes and Animal Collective. Hope things have been well.
