"To speak too much & not be heard - that's sickening enough. But to acquire listeners - that could be worse". from Immediatism, by Hakim Bey.
Welcome to my musical world! Check out the RECORDINGS blog page for my self-released D.I.Y. catalog for sale or trade. The PROJECTS page has descriptions of groups that I play with or have played with live. I plan to update my audio posts regularly, so check back in for new sounds. I'd love to get your feedback on any and everything here. Thanks, and please continue to support abstract experimental music!
Here is more about me: Composer / trombonist / bass strings player Jeremy (phloyd) Starpoli has been developing his unique musical interests in the Northeast United States for over ten years. His compositions and improvisations explore the fundamental parameters of musical sound (pitch, rhythm, loudness and tone color) as a basis for creating detailed worlds of sound in a variety of styles, all with an experimental edge. He was a member of the Correspondence Quartet (with Jackson Moore, Jessica Pavone and Seth Dellinger), who toured the U.S. with their unique approach to musical communication strategies that guided real-time group improvisation within larger compositional maps. Based in Western Massachusetts, Starpoli has also performed and recorded with the Middletown Creative Orchestra, toured in the power-noise-core band Squidlaunch, and collaborated with electronic noise artist Dan Greenwood (a.k.a. Diagram: A). He and drummer Ben Karetnick have a 10-year history as the Resistance Blue duo and have collaborated with many regional and internationally-known musicians such as Cliff White, Joe McPhee, Sabir Mateen and Daniel Carter. The music of Jeremy (phloyd) Starpoli is noisy and passionate at times, at others it is textural or rhythmic or melodic, crossing many styles and sounds in a constant exploration. His approach to the trombone utilizes a wide variety of conventional and extended techniques, allowing for diverse sound-types and moods. As a composer, Starpoli's interest in sound as a perceptual substance motivates endless variations of musical material. Follow the sound.
