the entropy circus archive -- under construction

This is an index of material relating to the music of Z.J.Krishna under several guises:

Entropy Circus - my recording project between 1989 and 2003 - and subject to regular revivals. Umpteen albums have been recorded in this time, including last year's Skillzy Krishna and the Vorticist Bar Combo Featuring the Entropy Circus All Stars. Some of these are downloadable from this site. More this way >>

Stella Maris Drone Orchestra - was/is a improvised drone ensemble that I formed in September 2004. Members have included: Tim Orff, Jim Fitzsimons, Rajinder Deo, Seth Ayyaz, Richard Fontenoy, Richard Guest, Al Robertson, Steve Parker, Mark Pilkington, Giles Narang and myself. I am taking a six month break from The Stellas to play solo gigs, currently as Zali plays Raga Jalfrezi. The Stella Maris EP is related to this project in some indistinct manner.

The Moonmoths - a high speed telegraphy collaboration with Ian Price. At the time this material was recorded Ian was living in Bellingham on the US/Canada border. We were sending each other material via FTP modifying it and sending it back. Ian and I are hoping to do do some new material soon. More this way >>

Platform Five(5) - a free-noise improv combo formed with Alaric Pether in 1992, imploded in 1999 after a legendary gig at The Klinker in Balls Pond Road. No P5 material appears on this site at the moment but hopefully we'll amend this soon.

The Benelux (Circus) - I produced two albums under the names The Benelux and The Benelux Circus a couple of years back to try to break the history of the Entropy Circus. The first of these was more song-like material. In fact it was the first album I had done without instrumentals. More this way >>

VEDiC/VEDA - the Vitreous Enamel Development Corp and the Vitreous Enamel Development Agency was another break from the Entropy Circus in the mid-nineties into a more MIDI sequenced domain. Recorded three cassettes of material under these names. None of this appears on this site but again, that may change soon.
