jhimm
Beginning in 1993, jhimm spent most of the 90's trying to launch a wide variety of ill-fated and poorly timed rock bands (like a retro glam project called "Whole Grain Interstate" during the height of the grunge hype). When working with others wasn't working, he took out his frustrations on a 4-track, producing a few wildly eclectic recordings which thankfully very few people heard at the time, but which have been converted to digital, and are available under the moniker "Traspassers William". (that is a moniker he had to abandon in the late 90's when it was brought to his attention that a well established band had already launched using it). the positive upshot of all this, however, was a slow, but steady embracing of electronics as a solution for some of the concepts he was having difficulty actualizing through analog instrumentation. 1998 - 2004 jhimm co-founded Scissorkiss, one of Boston's premiere electro-rock ensembles. tragically, the group was forced by circumstance to disband just as they seemed poised to break into the big leagues. 2006-2008 jhimm co-founded a project called (lisp), in collaboration with Dave Mazzarelli, the audio engineer on two of SK's three albums. (lisp)'s full length LP "if { then } else { do }" is available for free on their website. jhimm continues to compose and record on his own under the moniker .d88b. current pieces are experiments with randomly generated MIDI data and that material is offered for free on the .d88b. website.
