Asianova

Asianova are a four piece band from Houston, Texas, comprised of Wilhem (springs, strings, and scratching things), Katkishka (singing, ringing, and heavy pounding), Pamela Passmore (voice, noise and pretty toys) and Ure Thrall (purges, urges and gothic dirges). Asianova includes former members of Voice of Eye (under the names Katkishka and Wilhem). The origins of the Asianova sessions started with my year long improvisational collaboration with Jim Wilson under the name Cruor in 1988.

Asianova are a four piece band from Houston, Texas, comprised of Wilhem (springs, strings, and scratching things), Katkishka (singing, ringing, and heavy pounding), Pamela Passmore (voice, noise and pretty toys) and Ure Thrall (purges, urges and gothic dirges). Asianova includes former members of Voice of Eye (under the names Katkishka and Wilhem). The origins of the Asianova sessions started with my year long improvisational collaboration with Jim Wilson under the name Cruor in 1988. Things were attempting to take on a more structured format within the parameters of our improvisations and I then began focusing more on the harmonic aspects of composition. At this point experimental flautist / vocalist Bonnie McNairn and finally noizeman Tim Sternat joined the group.

After many live performances in the fledgling electronic music scene of Houston, Texas, my focus dwindled and Cruor disbanded. Later they reformed as Esoterica Landscapes 7 and after numerous ambitiously convoluted performances they disbanded only to reform again (minus Mr. Sternat) as the now legendary Voice of Eye, with Urâs truly sitting in only on rare occasions (resulting in my appearances on two tracks of the Voice of Eye CD releases). In my absence I spent this time focusing on my intuitive compositional skills and only occasionally jamming with Jim and Bonnie.
