Caught in the act

High Mayhem is pleased to present the debut release of iNK oN pAPER.  Limited to 100 Handmade CD’s designed by Burning Books, this release is also available via digital download dropcards.–

iNK oN pAPER is a drum, bass, and electronics duo from Milton Villarrubia III (drums and laptop) and Carlos Santistevan (bass and electonics).   After making music together as a rhythm section in numerous creative projects for over 10 years, Carlos and Milt decided they would further hone their craft in a duo setting exploring the vast possibilities of their respective instruments. Both members play hybridized versions of their instruments with Milton using Midi triggers on his drums to trigger samples and processing using Ableton Live and Carlos incorporating analog live looping and signal processing on his upright electric bass.

The result is a duo that is drags rhythm through the mud in unimaginably glorious ways.

Collectively the 2 have shared the stages with many greats including:  Myra Melford, Dub Trio, Claudia Quintet, Lightning Bolt, HEALTH, Dennis GonzalezRob Brown, Roscoe MitchellTatsuya Nakatani, Kidd Jordan, J.A. dino Deane, Chris Jonas, Ed Peterson, Mark DresserThollem McDonas and Tsigoti,   Zimbabwe Knenya, et al.
