Jupiter 88 – Michael MacDonald is the founding member and principal songwriter. He perviously played in the Boston Band “Edh.” Darla Villani is the vocalist and co-creator of the arrangements, text and musical ideas.

This is the debut EP from Boston-based duo, Jupiter 88. Jupiter 88 is a genre-defying group that seemlessly blends elements of hip-hop, pop music, avant garde sound creations and contemporary classical music. Jupiter 88 consists of piano, cello, soprano sax, voice, percussion, tape loops, drum programming and electronics. It draws inspiration from trip-hop/illbient beats; modern composers such as Philip Glass, Steve Reich and John Cage; magnetic tape pioneers of the 50′s and 60′s especially Luciano Berio and Ilhan Mimaroglu; jazz musicians like Steve Lacy; and contemporary artists from DJ Shadow and Portishead to the Rachel’s.

Available at Amazon.com, CD Baby and Unit Circle Rekkids.
