Ribbon Effect

Ribbon Effect is a Chicago based project formed in 1998 by the visual artists Bill Talsma and Danielle Malkoff ? the third member is Jacob Ross. The music of this project is similar to Chicago based groups like Tortoise or The Sea And The Cake, but more floating. They released so far two records on Roometone (Slip - 2001) and False Walls (ep98 - 2002). Ribbon Effect's debut Slip (Roomtone) was well received and this half-hour excursion back to 1998 confirms the Chicagoan trio's capacity to deliver a convincing ragout of rock-oriented improvisation and practised studio know-how.

Electronic keyboards, guitar, drums and accordian are cast in moulds that owe a debt to dub, melodic Krautrock or the sound design skills of group members Jacob Ross, Danielle Malkoff and Bill Talsma.
