   About The U/M/S
The U/M/S is reportedly the brainchild of Jonah Goldstein. The reclusive Brooklyn-born artist surfaces occasionally for idiosyncratic and unlikely collaborations with varied artists. After spending time as a sound designer in film, Goldstein returned to the Jersey shore, beginning work on the debut Harmful Free Radicals album with childhood friend, Bill Byrne.

His latest undertaking, The Unevenness of the Moon's Surface, announced in 2006, is as much a lifestyle undertaking as it is a musical one. The U/M/S is equal parts documentary and experimental composition utilizing unique recording techniques. Goldstein began documenting audio from his day to day life, often using sound equipment more specifically developed for surveillance and espionage than music. Goldstein has incorporated these covert field recordings into his music creating a unique genre and method.

Welcoming the audience into both his life and his music, The U/M/S explores different events and facets of the artist's own life and the world he encounters. 2006 has seen the artist's weekly podcast (now available through iTunes) and the release of Jonah's first as-yet-untitled solo release. The artist currently resides in the San Fernando Valley and spends much of his spare time riding the bus.

Men In White Coats Is Now Available!




Men In White Coats is now on sale! It features 45 one minute sound art science experiments by El Plan De Aguavodka, The Painful Leg Injuries and The Unevenness of the Moon's Surface.

Click here to order Men In White Coats.
Click here to find out more info about Men In White Coats including track details.

Listen to sample tracks:

"Red Hot Symbiogenesis Jam"
by El Plan de Aguavodka

"The Spontaneous Fracturing of Heavy Metal"
by the Painful Leg Injuries

"Socialism Supersedes Scientific Rigour"
by the Unevenness of the Moon's Surface

The three artists each contributed fifteen compositions to the collection. Individually they gravitated toward an exciting diversity of scientific subject matter ranging from the birth of the scientific method itself on through the present, successes and missteps alike. From artificial intelligence to intelligent design, from Newtonian physics to psychic surgery, classic Darwinism to Soviet Lysenkoism; the selections paint a lively and unorthodox sonic portrait of the scientific world far removed from the textbook and the lecture hall. This is science that lives, breathes, and is often forgotten.

Take care and thanks for listening!
