This is jps logo Music, all rolled into one!!

All we have to say is listen to us! You determine what JPS are, is , will be, can be! .....it's all art! It's all good!   jps logo is the name! Music/Art exploration is our game!   JPS supports the local / independent music scene. We beleive in the freedom of artistic expression and free speech.


TAPEOGRAPHY

This includes friends, family, solo, anything JPS finds/feels that is entertaining in the vain of the JPS style. Or anything JPS wants on here..Dammit! The first demo cassette from JPS. (4 Song Demo, 15min.) jps donna's thumb
Donna's Thumb was recorded in the summer of 1999, in some wee bitty apartment. On a 
Tascam  MKII 4-track cassette machine. So that's why it sounds the way it does-
old fashioned ANALOG! The name of the demo came to IKEN-V (drums) in a dream. 
The dream was about a demo tape that IKEN was handing out at a local friend's bead/head 
shop (RICK'S PICKS). Someone asked what  the tape's title was and IKEN-V says..
"Uhh, Donna's Thumb". Donna's Thumb really has no meaning, sercrets messages...
it's a peice of art, you determine what it means to you, whoever, whatever!?! Anyway, 
Donna's Thumb was made entirely on a very low budget(Can ya tell?) - IKEN-V's budget! 
As VAM-18 (guitar) was at the time an unemployed bum. And Phillup Mcpipe (bass) 
couldn't make the production of DT. The bass tracks on Donna's Thumb are mostly 
keyboard acrobatics or some other fabrication by IKEN-V or VAM-18. As are the drums, 
they are from a drum machine or a keyboard -a Casio clone from Radio Shack at that!! 
Most of the songs were written while laying down the tracks, there are barely any re-takes,
some mistakes are purposely left in. We like our creations to show a human feel than 
machine perfection. Although, VAM-18 would love to perfect all his guitar parts- he's a 
typical guitarist! All visual art was done by VAM-18, including the JPS home page, 
please excuse his web creations-he's still learning. 
 
dt animate       The Second demo from JPS. jps df
Dog Funnel is under production as you read this(it has been for the last 4-5 months!)
It is made the same way as Donna's Thumb. DF will be longer with more tracks - 20-30 
minute tapes. We must say that we are progressing in the recording technique-with what 
we have to work with. We are still a very low budget outfit. We beleive it doesn't matter 
too much anyway-it's the music/art that comes across anyway. But hopefully soon we 
will convert to CD format. Most of the tracks for DF were actually done early after 
DonnaÕs Thumb- we have been doing a lot of preliminary mixing and re-mixing and also 
writing more material.We should be done with production of Dog Funnel sometime in April.
 
VAM-18 & IKEN-V both have some pre-JPS solo songs and stuff to add to Dog Funnel. 
Some instrumental stuff with some crude cassette/video sampling! More experiementation!
IKEN-V is on a serious writing tangent! HE WONÕT STOP!!! So JPS has plenty of original material!!
Early in production of DF, Phillup McPipe(Bass) decides he's not interested in "The Stick" 
(bass) So, like the making of Donna's Thumb - IKEN & VAM have been sharing the duties for the 
recording of all bass tracks.
  These are Joint Pully System's first in a series of cassette demos. They will all be made in limited quantities.

JPS GIG
INFO:
JPS will eventually play out once we aquire all equipment and members neededÉ
but right at the moment we are a recording band/project.
If you happen to venture out on the town(Clearwater, FL) you might happen to catch 
one of us jamming at an open mic at either ÒMotherÕs MilkÓ(Thurs. nights) or at 
Insomnia Coffee House(Palm Harbor-Tuesday nights). We are available for parties and 
special engagements.
JPS are planning to go to PHISH NYE 2001 here in FL(Big Cypress Indian Reservation)! 
We will be jamming out among the camp grounds. Possibly we will be renting an RV with a 
huge JPS banner/flag so all of our "fans" will spot us(ok, so i tend to go in and out of reallity....)! 
This will be our first announced live gig as JPS if all goes well by then. Or if we are asked 
to play somewhere (hint, hint...) before then. We will also be handing out our FREE 
Cassette demos(and possibly CDs!!!). 
Special guest(s) will also be at hand - our brother, all the way from JAMZ SOUND STUDIOS 
in Middletown, CT - "Jimmy Z."Also some other musicians and good friends and good times!
