.EXT by HELIX.EXT

HELIX.EXT is Jon Lodge (trumpet/electronics) & Shane de Leon (drums/guitar/processing) improvising. Free drone jazz noise funk flies by & flutters in & out. The pieces steer from atonal drones to rhythmic bop & pop. Both are accomplished visual & musical artists that have been collaborating together since 2018 in Billings, MT.

Shane de Leon was in Portland, OR cult jazz band Rollerball for over a decade & continues to be the leading force behind Miss Massive Snowflake, Happy Belated Birthday, & Dusty Tears. De Leon also runs North Pole Records & Kirks' Grocery (art gallery/music venue/record store).

Jon Lodge is a Berklee College of Music graduate & has fostered free jazz, musique concrete, minimalism, & experimental music for decades in Billings, Montana. His visual art is in museums & galleries throughout the US. A whirlwind of ideas, energy, & love of life.

Zone out, drone out, & freak out to this mix of jazz, noise, & kicked out jams.
