100% Storms Ensemble



Eric Morrison's (Home,Leels) fake orchestra. Tackling the best syphonic commissions that they never were really offered: 1939 World's Fair, Launch music for the Voyager space probes, and the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in NYC.

A Symphonic Dance for the 1939 World’s Fair [2003]

EJ-54 12" mini LP

Play it:


1. A Symphonic Dance for the 1939 World's Fair - Side A
2. A Symphonic Dance for the 1939 World's Fair - Side B

Liner notes:
A rare vinyl-only offering from Emperor Jones by the 100% Storms Ensemble. A Symphonic Dance for the 1939 World's Fair is a new post-facto musical piece meant to capture the dizzy elation of America fishtailing on a wet highway just before careening headlong into WWII. Various strings, french horn, clarinet and flute combine with more basic rock elements to sweep you into its pomp and circumstance.

The B-side is an 18-minute epic chamber rock collage, perhaps resembling a lost piece by the aforementioned Home.

This lovely release features direct to metal mastered black vinyl and sleek glow in the dark cover and is a numbered edition of 300.

Radio Suite for 4 Clarinets, 4 Pianos, and Voice [2003]



Play it:


1. Radio Suite for 4 Clarinets, 4 Pianos, and Voice

Liner notes:
Originally written as a piece for solo clarinet and harmonic pedal by Jennifer Juristo, "Radio Suite" is reimagined here as a pair of interchangeable quartets. Each member of the two subsets, comprised of discrete recorded performance, was independently controlled and shaped in real-time during the microcast.
