PLASMODIUM

Plasmodium is Bob Miller (trumpets, flugelhorn, keyboards, sound manipulations) and Jim Thomson (drums, percussion, sound manipulations, and voice).

Initially conceived in Richmond, Virginia in the year 2000 as an improvisational and experimental drum and trumpet duo, Plasmodium has since expanded its music into the realm of clairaudience -- the perception of messages in thought forms from entities who exist in another realm -- after experiencing supranormal hearing during their rehearsals. What they thought were static CB transmissions and AM radio signals coming through their amplifiers turned out to actually be a transmission of paranormal voices carrying various messages and bits and pieces of information. Determining that the tops of their heads and their respective musical equipment were acting as "channeling instruments," Plasmodium opened The Investigative Sonic Apparition Research Laboratories in the year 2000. Using a dizzying array of drum loops, keyboards, trumpets, diodes, crystals, mirrors, and audio-visual surveillance monitors finetuned to paranormal frequencies, Plasmodium gives the psychic phenomenon known as clairaudience a sound, so to speak, and they paint a "sound-surveillance" portrait of sonic apparitions that they channel in their laboratories. Their latest CD, Clairaudience, is the result the group's adventures in the phenomenon of clairaudience between 2002 and 2004.
