about
Moonjabber is the electronic soundwork of musicians/composers Todd Markham and Bill Johnston. Their music was originally released to a private community of musicians, artists, and local stations in California during the early 90's, and is long out of print. They published a single titled "Petroglyph" in 1992, and one full length release in '94 called "suQwetchazima" -(pronounced; soo-kwet-cha-zima)- a pseudo-native term they coined, meaning "People of the Spirit". In the rock and pop dominated market, their passion for soundtrack & electronic composition was influenced only by pioneers like Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Steve Roach and Brian Eno. Even amidst the emerging New Age scene, electronic music was still a sound design not ready for mainstream radio play, and delays in timing and other opportunites saw their equipment being packed before they could record their third release--one on cd, through their own independent label (a rarity at the time). Moonjabber presently has no plans for a new release. However, some of the original analog material has been digitally edited for streaming-- exclusively to Lastfm listeners.
