M GOO was a co-operative comprising; Tony Korycki - a songwriter and keyboard player, working solo and collaborating with musicians since the 1980's, mostly in Rock and Jazz genres, with Bryan Glutting - a musician and vibraphone player, based in Atlanta, GA. Together the M GOO co-operative formed the duo; Cognitive Dissonance.
What was Cognitive Dissonance ? Was it “a mental conflict when beliefs in assumptions are contradicted by new information, or… an anxiety resulting from simultaneously holding incompatible attitudes, or … a condition of conflict or anxiety resulting from inconsistency between one’s beliefs and one’s actions …”? Well, yes. But it was also … a musical partnership between two semi-professional musicians, who teamed up to explore the unique interaction between piano and vibraphone first pioneered by Corea and Burton (although we never claimed that level of virtuosity). Cognitive Dissonance was a mad project; a musical folly, that lasted from 2004 to Bryan's passing in 2024. A project conducted across the vast Atlantic Ocean. A project that suited its name. A project to stir the sleep of the phantasmagorical beast.
