“Beats From Bina’s House”, Ammon Contact
Atlanta and Los Angeles, 2002
Carlos Nino and Fabian Ammon are Ammon Contact. “A rough debut — think of it as a beat tape.”
This EP sounds so raw and funky that there was no way it could be not be done by hand, especially without ready access to photos. The illustrations are all done with construction paper on a bed of stickie notes. My only regret was that we were unable to get proper digital repro due to budgets and a crazy deadline. Currently out of print and hard to come by. The EP was the third release on Eastern Developments Music, an imprint I ran — not very well — with my partner Guillermo Scott Herren.
Here are Carlos Niño and Fabian Ammon in the KPFK studio.
