BluCube is Cookie Marenco’s avant-garde persona, creating astonishing effects using live sample and loop techniques. Black Coast focuses on ambient soundscapes and the exploration of the boundaries of sound. This album is a collaboration with Dino J.A. Deane and Ava Mendoza.
Without Desires is an extraordinary collection of new music that takes electro-acoustic improvisation to a new level. No stranger to innovation, multi-instrumentalist Dino J.A. Deane performs on a self designed lapsteel dulcimer with guitarist Ava Mendoza and long time collaborator, Blu Cube. The resulting sound is futuristic and haunting, yet rhythmically soothing.
