marumari biono, he isn't from outerspace as his surreal tunes would have you believe. how then to explain marumari's offbeat taste, his predilection for clothes from the gap, or his scooter fetish? this
mutated breed of earthling is obviously the result of a childhood plagued by episodes of star trek and peewee's playhouse, digging hobbit holes, an obsession with toy rockets, and disco dancing
on cruise ships for $5 poker chips. it's a wonder that his royal elastic feet are still grounded here on earth. the springy feet however are apropos since marumari, aka josh presseisen has bounced
back and forth in his young musical career from twee indie rock to laptop pop.
dwelling in the faceless suburbs of planet earth, this galactic composer has captured an everbroadening audience,mesmerizing them with his musical mumbo jumbo. how does this genius create
his unique sound? forget the standard composing programs; marumari has masterminded the generic pc shareware programs and created a style to formulate 21st century tunes on his outdated
20th century computer.
after a series of successful sound experiments last fall, he has completed his 4th full length record, supermogadon. on the tail end of 3 successful releases. the wolves hollow [carpark] in 2000,
ballad of the round ball [carpark] in 1999, and story of the heavens [cunsanto] in 1998, this clever compilation outdoes all the rest.
