      New York composer and guitarist Cristian Amigo named his new
      music jam band, Kingdom of Jones, after another bastion of
      fierce cultural resistance. During the American Civil War,
      confederates dubbed the city of Ellisville, Mississippi an
      anti-secessionist Union stronghold in the midst of the
      Confederacy û the ôFree and Sovereign State of Jones.

      AmigoÆs kingdom reflects his position on what it takes to
      exist in a complicated, global world of sonic possibilities.
      Its wide-ranging sound world moves between the softest
      ambient acoustic gestures, and the heaviest kinds of
      industrial and electric sounds. The result is no
      musically-beleaguered enclave: rather it offers listeners
      many points of entry into its global amalgam.

      Amigo is an acoustic and electric guitarist with an open
      improvising bent, and an eclectic composer of theatre and
      performance works, orchestral and chamber music, fierce
      riffs, and art song. This, the first Kingdom of Jones CD, was
      recorded and assembled while traveling during his Guggenheim
      Fellowship year (2006-2007) and is a vehicle for exploration
      of the avant-populist music in his head, heart, and hands.

      Cristian Amigo and Kingdom of Jones (KOJ) are an ensemble
      whose core players include Amigo (guitars, electronics,
      voice), Izzi Ramkissoon (bass, laptop, processes) and
      Guillermo Cardenas (percussion and trance). Playing live sets
      of amplified LOUD music, they rock the place down with
      experimental, often abstract, music and beats, soundscapes,
      and electronic processes. In live performance, the band
      remixes and fragments all types of music (Messiaen, Golijov,
      Perez Prado, Nino Rota, Bob Marley, Fela, Led Zeppelin,
      Cypress Hill, rumba, etc.), and recasts them mixed with
      Kingdom of Jones sounds and original compositions.
