Experimental / Metal / Ambient

About

Mozote is a second solo project of Michael Iafrate of COBRA and M Iafrate & The Priesthood, and formerly of The Minus Tide, Drown Culture, etc. The first, and primary, solo project is, and continues to be, the M Iafrate project. Thus, what we have here is a side project of the solo project, so to speak.

A number of persons have asked when music will be generated. Iafrate is -- as I am -- currently experimenting in the home studio, with one eye fixed on the goal of providing an album down the road. We hope that we could provide a bit of a taste or sample later this spring, but definitely sometime this summer.

Think: minimalist, drone-y metal guitars, samples, noises. Basically we are working out a mechanism to produce slow, ambient metal guitar music, sans drums. Recording-wise, we are also working on amp-less methods of recording the electric guitar. And we do plan on this music being somewhat, or perhaps overtly, political in theory and praxis.

Do not even ask at this point if or when Mozote might include live demonstrations of this music. This is uncertain.
