Amalgamated is a collaboration of Illinois, USA -based multi-instrumentalists Mike Richards (Rebekah's Tape, main operator/artist of Makeshift Music, etc./Intangible Cat), Cory Bengtsen (Rebekah's Tape), Bob Newell (Headless Ballerinas Underwater), Phillip Klampe (Homogenized Terrestrials), and producer/editors D. Petri (Dog Hallucination), and Gus Kumo (Gushing Cloud). In 2004 the instrumentalists of the group began gathering periodically with a 4 track cassette recorder or 16 track digital device to record their improvisations. The music Amalgamated makes is diverse, and can end up being electronic, ambient, sometimes noise-oriented, industrial, danceable, psychedelic...The group has recorded many different sessions which constitute many different approaches and moods. Listeners may discern influences of artists such as Nurse With Wound, Brian Eno, home taper & industrial music from the 80's & 90's, Autechre, Dead Voices on Air, and miscellaneous other music/art/movies/literature touchpoints. The eclectic nature of Amalgamated's music is not so much a deliberate posture as it is a natural result of the members' enthusiasm for many different types of aesthetics and methods of creation.
