2003 - 2008
Gemini formed in 2003 as an improvisational live jazz-tronic band consisting of Thomas Bell and Gregg Jarvis. Exploring concepts of improvised looping , Gemini begins improvising then loops real and virtual instruments in real time, mixing and manipulating the loops as a dj would and then improvises on top of the spontaneous composition just created.
Throughout the past six years, Gemini has often performed or recorded as a trio or quartet with the additions of:
Charlie Burnham - electric violinDean Bowman - vocals
Todd Reynolds - violin, laptop
David Cast - saxophones (2005 to present)
Jessie Selengut - trumpet
Andre Chomondeley - guitar
Chemi - saxophone and electronics
Mitchell Yoshida - keyboards
Franklin Mazzeo - laptop
In 2007, "Nothing Justifies Noise" was released under the name "Geminii" (with three i's) indicating that it was the trio format with the addition of producer David Cast on saxophones.
Also in 2007, "Geminii" had the track "Slowly Gone", on the Electro Music Fest 2007 sampler cd.
