Instant Coffee!

Instant Coffee! is a trio of Lisle Ellis, a well-known jazz bassist who have played with the likes of Cecil Taylor, Fred Frith and John Zorn, M. C. Schmidt of Matmos and Jason Willett – a Baltimore veteran of avant and "out"-music both on the fringes of rock and noise, member and collaborator of numerous bands and projects, including [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/1/2+Japanese] Half Japanese[/url].

The trio was formed in 2009 around live improvisational sessions, which later formed the band's first album, released in a limited edition on LP by Alga Marghen's Planam sub-division in 2010. The recording saw Ellis exploring the electroacoustic combination of traditional jazz techniques with real-time computer processing, Martin Schmidt playing the usual variety of spooky percussive instruments, non-musical objects and synthesizers, and Jason Willett jamming on rubber band with a contact microphone, Sidrassi Organ and other custom-made electronic instruments.
