HALLAZGO is Kip Jones' musical calling card, an eleven-song odyssey of
solo voice-and-violin pieces written during his thirteen-month trip
through South America. It was recorded by Russel Munson at Small
Circus Studio.

K2 is the fearsome
combination of Kip Jones and Karl Doty, an upright bass player with an
appetite for awesomeness. Together, they wrote recorded a
seven-song EP of original compositions in July, 2010. This music
is exciting, rootsy (whose roots?), and humorous. Recorded by Russel Munson at Small Circus Studio.

Free Range is the brainchild
of longtime friends Kip Jones and Tom
Richards, who put their heads together to plan and record a series
of musical/improvisational games. The results are nothing short
of surprising: from acoustic ambient to runaway circus music, Free
Range can not be accused of taking itself too seriously. Kip
traveled to Toronto in August of 2010 to record this album with Tom,
and his inimitable cohorts Scott Peterson and Plutek, who also
engineered the session at 6 Nassau Studio.

The production of HALLAZGO
was funded by pledges and pre-orders. A few adventurous folk
pledged to such an extent that they deserved mini-commissions, which
are collected here in Top Spur (an anagram of "support"). Of the
seven tracks on this EP, six clock in at 2'45" or less, and are
something of an experiment in the nature of "the payoff". Kip is
especially proud of the longer track LDMT (Long Distance Motorcycle
Travel), both for the tune and the violin sounds. He engineered
this EP himself at his apartment (Nothing Grand Studio) in September
2010.

Morning Zephyr, aka Kip
Jones, Karl Doty, and Zach Miller (drums): new age noise rock?
prog-inspired classical? Eastern European breakfast burrito?
From dark and sparse to symphonic, emotional serengeti-jumping
lions. Three albums:
Morning Zephyr
Empire Builder - The trio's strongest statement. Recorded
summer 2005 by Luke Eskola at North Central University.
Morning Zephyr Advocates - a "Last
Tycoon" from summer 2006 with two amazing songs: 'Ascent' and
'Something to do With Flying'. Also recorded by Luke Eskola, at
Yellowbelly Studio.
Proof And Content -
Summer 2004. Donna Lee, Giant Steps, and some stark liturgical
vibraphone work. Recorded by Justin Korhonen at IPR.

Kip writes: "During my
half-year in India (fall 2005-spring 2006), I made a number of short
field recordings with my homemade binaural microphones. Here are
the ones that turned out best.

Likewise, while my wife Noelle and I were living in South Korea,
teaching English (fall 2006 - fall 2008), I took some opportunity to
record our neighborhood church reciting the apostles' creed, as well as
get some great vibe from the Temple of Heaven park, in Beijing, China.
