The Distance Between

A place for sound freaks lashing out from the dark. 

So there's all kinds of stuff on this page, but after months of schizophrenic debates about who was playing with who and who took the lead while doing it, finally, the decision was made: all my alter egos got together and decided to form a band. From 2020 on new tracks are created under the moniker Gruppo Infernal. Only pure MMTJ tracks will still be named as such. 

Gruppo Infernal still relies on my work as Me, my Thumb and Jack, an ongoing quest for a liberating approach to sound creation where the human body acts as an oscillator amplifying the natural 50hz hum. Direct live recording, improvisations and delay loops only using analog filters and effects. No editing, no overdubs. Gruppo Infernal adds digital treatment to this original sound material. 

UnterPitch was an alter ego using samples & synths.
Bleached Coffins was a one-off project using guitars.

earliest work when I was still a pup:

In the distant Subert Humlin, Gory Rallagher, Sank Frinatra, and Dats Fomino Galaxies, Her Majesty's Royal Intergalactic Empire is under siege by the sinister Khazargonians and their elite squads of shock troopers- the Jearl Pamians and Goundsardenians. Her Majesty has commissioned an elite force led by her three of Her Majesty's Space Navy's finest officers with several primary objectives, chief among them was the following directive: to combine the great tones of surf and fifties rock... with disco!
These elite officers are:  Admiral Krank of the SS Belgrade (Guitar, bass, beats, intergalactic espionage and assassination by exploding cigars); and Captain Mirth of the SS Zagreb- (Guitar, piano, synth, beats, and advanced thermal detonation). And our very own clockwork man on the drums, Mo Sheen (https://soundcloud.com/user-424452711).  Unfortunately, despite bravely serving Her Majesty's Space Navy, Vice Commandant Dubois has been court martialed and convicted for conduct not befitting an officer and counterfeiting baseball cards, stripped of his command of the SS Budapest, and dishonorably discharged from Her Majesty's Space Navy, though certain recordings of his guitar, synth, bass, beats, and forward deployable laser blasters remain here memorialized for posterity. Let it be known that though he has sunk to the very depths of ignominy, we wish him well in his new venture, the Spandex Spanktroverse.

The world around us is inexorably changing and all this is happening not without the help of the human race, the Earth is our home and now it is not just a big anthill in outer space, but the starting point of the mind, from here and into distant worlds.

Here you see the last confirmed photo of the legendary songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, philologist, polyglot, love doctor, humanitarian, autodidact, amateur massage therapist, expert woodworker, cattle rancher, and faith-healer, Natt Brus. He was born Bruce Knotts in Rocky Springs, Ms in 1942. In 1964, Knotts founded a small communal musical and religious society- the so-called Sacred Order of Zoroastrian Gyrations- in Marfa,Texas. By 1967, the commune was making headlines as a “cult” devoted to the ritual sacrifice of alpaca and shetland ponies. On the run from the Texas Rangers and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, he assumed the alias ‘Natt Brus” and escaped to the Swedish wilderness. There, he began his search for what he called the “Monomental.” After penning his autobiography and manifesto, Brus and his mistress Fannie Assingham disappeared in his spruce, tarp and chicken wing biplane, leaving nary a trace. 

Brus’s followers never gave up hope that their spiritual and musical guide had faked his death in order to achieve the long sought for state of pure “monomentality,” a pure permanent hypnotic state of groove. In April 2020, a purported manuscript of his autobiography surfaced on the black market of Cairo alongside lost scraps of Gnostic scripture. An ad hoc international consortium of scholars determined that this manuscript of Brus’s life’s work- which he called The Nekkid Truth of Natt Brus- was indeed authentic. However, the work’s most important chapters- those disclosing the true nature of the monomental and its attainment- were not written in Latin letters, but a strange kind of coded musical notation decipherable only by those initiated in the esoteric traditions of Brus’s own Sacred Order of Zoroastrian Gyrations. The international consortium, under the aegis of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, immediately commissioned an international collaboration with two express aims: 1) to commit the unrecorded compositions of Natt Brus to a permanent sound recording medium; and 2) to translate Natt Brus’s Theory of Ultimate Monomentality to sound.  

These collaborators are the bearers of the seal of the Sacred Order of Zoroastrian Gyrations and holders of its secret teachings. They include:
