LayAllOverIt

Noritaka Tanaka(drums)

Drummer Noritaka Tanaka and Bassist Jason Ajemian met in 2001 playing at Pete Millers Restaurant in Evanston with Jeff Parker. They instantly decided to get something happening together where they could try and develop the connection on a regular basis. The two started getting together a majority of days in the week to work on rhythm section connections and beat relationships; as well as, conceptual ideas of motion, movement, space and feelings of consciousness in terms of comfort and struggle in relation to sound.

Eventually, Ajemian began vocalizing his notebook within these states of sonic focus. Many times this process constructed songs or referenced previous movements, motifs that existed for more than the instant of creation.
