Richard for Cerebellum creates richly textured "Classical/Industrial" music through the use of sampling, electronic instruments, "film score" atmospherics, and acoustic instruments as well as less conventional means such as random composition, "on location" recordings (i.e. in different environments using found sounds and instruments), and custom built instruments. RFC uses these elements, combined with traditional classical music elements and industrial music to create some very effective contrasts.

Tim Id Productions is dedicated to the promotion of Do it Yourself (DiY) music, also known as cassette culture, home taping and home recording. It is also the home of Bat Lenny, Stegor and other endeavors. We offer a link to "...Now That's Interesting...", a Twin Cities radio show which features music by home tapers, as well as links to other locations in that vein.

I've been creating odd music and exploring sonic possibilities in my spare time since 1992 and with Bat Lenny since 1982 (not including the silliness we recorded in the '70's). I play whatever I can get my hands on, mostly guitar, but I am not a guitarist. I write and play music but I am not a musician.

The group began as a trio with Tom Wenzel doing the percussive duties, Kirk Famularo on bass and Me on guitar, miscellanous effects and digital signal processors. We eventually added Daryl Fjeldheim on saxophone who rounded out the group sound. The goal was to create music that had some structure to it, but yet was left open for improvisation at key sections in the compositions. The sound was an all instrumental funk/jazz/rock exploration in music.

Founded in 1984, the Mouth Bandits spent ten years in the studio. This is all they have to show for it. Oh well.
