Brooklyn's Thomas Kozumplik and Lorne Watson create a heady slipstream by way of multi-layered percussion on new album, Zodiac Dust . On the album expect to hear everything from marimba and steel drum to tom-toms, bongos and snares, temple bowls and wood blocks, opera gongs and electronics. If that weren't enough enticement, the group feature two new instruments: the eLog and Rose Echo; in addition to cello, violin, piano, vocals, and more orthodox percussion. This one is best discovered in your own head. audio: Zodiac Dust [...]

Thomas Kozumplik and Lorne Watson are Loop 2.4.3 , a percussion duo from Brooklyn. Their album Zodiac Dust is filled with a chill-out collection of meandering songs, the kind of music you want to hear just before sunrise after a night on the town. With marimba, steel drum, piano, violin and lesser known instruments such as the darbouka they mix rhythms with modern day electronics. Zodiac Dust sounds fresh and loose, like the music was created up on the spot. Both players are well-versed in improvisation, but thankfully [...]
Just looking at the band and album name you can come up with a good guess of what this music is all about: ambient and slow-burning. I don't know if its still okay to call it IDM anymore, but it recalls a lot of that genre. Zodiac Dust takes the formula from some of the [...]
"Reinvents percussion..." – Fresh Air, NPR Zodiac Dust -- the name sounds like an addictive new substance that all the kids are taking. Perhaps it soon will be. For now, Zodiac Dust is a fittingly daze-inducing and awe-inspiring work of musical experimentation by Brooklyn duo Loop 2.4.3 that merges myriad elements of classical, jazz, rock and many other world musics. Loop 2.4.3 employs the gamut of percussion instruments, from marimba and steel drum to tom-toms, bongos and snare drums, temple bowls and wood blocks, opera gongs [...]

Brooklyn duo Loop 2.4.3 create sonic alchemy in the grand vein of Eno, Steve Reich, Mike Oldfield, and elsewhere by way of percussion instruments, from marimba and steel drum to tom-toms, bongos and snare drums, temple bowls and wood blocks, opera gongs and electronics. Loop 2.4.3's new album, Zodiac Dust, will out on June 16th. Loop 2.4.3 were exclusively a live act until the release of their debut CD, Batterie , on the Brooklyn label, Music Starts From Silence (MSFS) in the fall of 2007.

Whether the result of a serious lack of sleep or the fact we've been going one billion miles an hour playing catch up after all of last week's fun, aka South by Southwest, this week has flown by. In fact, while your enjoy this week's mix of the best new singles and remixes, along with mp3s from seriously talented up-and-comers, we're going to finally get a few Z's.

O+S I've been slacking lately in the new music realm. With both SXSWi and SXSW Music Conferences plus a trip to the Digital Summit in Nashville I've been hard pressed to post up a new MP3 or two, so here's ten new cuts that are more laid back than usual for you to listen to over [...]
If I was to start talking about Zodiac Dust, you think I had picked up a nasty drug habit, but in fact what I picked up was the forthcoming album from Brooklyn's Loop 2.4.3 . What Thomas Kozumplik and Lorne Watson are able to create on dueling drum sets is absolutely mind blowing, but not quite a drug. Hailing from Michigan and arriving in Brooklyn via New Haven and Seattle, Loop 2.4.3 has spent the last five years alternately traveling and working in a Bed-Stuy loft space, focused on writing, improvising and creating their own style. They were exclusively [...]

Contrary to what people might be telling you, Zodiac Dust is not a crazy new drug or some David Bowie glam-pop tribute. In fact, it is the work of Brooklyn's own Loop 2.4.3 [MySpace] that...

The idea of being surrounded in percussive instruments, cymbals, snares, toms, and sticks will delight drum geeks from sea to shining sea. The question EVP wishes to pose: Would Loop 2.4.3 make for terrible neighbors? Not if the goodness promised on the duo's sophomore album, Zodiac Dust , is for real. The band's blend of composition and percussion creates a sound that isn't akin to ten John Bonham drum solos but more to the composite textures of Steve Reich and Brian Eno. You'll be able to hear the product of Brooklyn-based duo June 16th. Or could grab [...]
