West of west, where the west never ends. This is  the territory occupied by This Old Earthquake, an indie folk band based in Bolinas, California, an eccentric small town on the coast of Marin County just north of San Francisco. Described as “West Marinicana” and “sophisticated back porch music”, influences range from roots artists like Gillian Welch and The Band to indie pop artists like Bon Iver and Iron and Wine. The sound is intimate and sparse, a pick against a string, a breath anticipates a lyric. 


        West of west, where the west never ends
        Might not be best, to swim towards the sunset
        No no not just yet...

I'm an Audio Engineer/Percussionist/Composer living in the Greater New York area.

Simone Cappelli / S2D01
Italian musician, sound designer, and sonic explorer. From analog roots to digital and generative sound, his work moves between ambient, experimental, and emotional electronic music. Through evolving textures, slow atmospheres, and immersive soundscapes, he translates inner states, memories, and real-world events into sound. Founder of S2D01, a project dedicated to continuous sonic research at the intersection of music, technology, and AI.

Mark C. Jackman began composing/producing scores for experimental film and dance in 1984 while studying Experimental Electronic Music under Vladimir Ussachevsky (the co-inventor of electronic music/musique concrète, in 1927 with Otto Leuning - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Ussachevsky ) and Music/Art/Aesthetic Philosophy with Paul Banham at the University of Utah.

Jackman relocated to San Francisco in 1988 at which point he began using the project name "skozey fetisch."

The current focus of skozey fetisch is acoustic cacophonies and field recordings presented with minimal, or no manipulation. While per suing this new focus, the project is still actively recording electronic experiments as well.
