Mason Jones (guitar and whatever else is around), with whoever is interesting to play with at the time. At the moment Mike Shoun (Prismatics, ex-Caesura) is a regular partner on drums.
Influences
Far too many to name but to give some idea, the list includes Skullflower, Fushitsusha, Mainliner, Ash Ra Tempel, Throbbing Gristle, PiL, Swans, Total, Loren Mazzacane Connors, Gila, Food Brain, Taj Mahal Travellers, Group 1850, Les Rallizes Denudes, Cosmic Jokers, Miles Davis electric period, Tivol, GYBE! and far, far more.
Sounds Like
Hard to say, maybe some conglomeration of Sonic Youth, Fushitsusha, Cosmic Jokers, Ash Ra Tempel, Grey Daturas, SubArachnoid Space, Skullflower, Acid Mothers Temple, and who knows what else. Maybe that gives you an idea, anyway.
Improvisational psych-cosmic-noise-rock project centered around guitarist Mason Jones. Created to provide an outlet allowing participation of collaborators while staying in a certain field of guitar-oriented psych-noise-freeform-rock sound. Usually Numinous Eye remains a guitar-drum duo.
Previously, I founded SubArachnoid Space, and the project Trance before that. I have also released several albums of solo guitar work, operated the Charnel Music label, and published extensive writing about music in general and Japanese indie music/noise in particular, including the magazine Ongaku Otaku.
I've toured around the U.S. and Japan with various projects, including collaborative shows in Japan with artists like Seiichi Yamamoto (Boredoms), KK Null (Zeni Geva), Jojo Hiroshige (Hijokaidan/Alchemy Records), and many others. I have also organized U.S. shows for bands including Fushitsusha, Zeni Geva, Rovo, Acid Mothers Temple, Coa, Masonna, and others.

Whenever i listen to your song "Stone Clouds" i imagine myself in a field where a nuclear bomb was detonated and the field still glows green and all the animals and people have mutated and i look into the sky up at the mountains of stone clouds hovering thousands of feet above and voices are coming from them....inconceivable and blissful insanity......where everything's strange, totally incomprehensible, and nothing is ever understood.
I consider "Midnight In The Twilight Factory" one of the greatest albums there is. Just ordered the "Live/Studio" Lp and will be picking up the "its coming soon" cd-r soon too.
