CITY ZEN

Artist: MIA DOI TODD Title: Zeroone
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
CTZ001
Price: $12.00 Label: City Zen
Release
Date:
3/5/01
***Zeroone is the third album by Mia Doi Todd, recorded by herself at home in Los Angeles during the summer and fall of 2000, using a Macintosh G4 and ProTools Digi001. Like her first two albums, The Ewe and The Eye, and Come Out of Your Mine, Zeroone is set in the simplest of arrangements-guitar and voice. Its ten songs were written in 1998 while Mia was living in Tokyo studying the modern Japanese dance form Butoh, and in 1999 upon her return to the United States.

Her most abstract work so far, Zeroone departs from the traditional verse-chorus song structure and standard guitar tuning, venturing into dissonance and free verse. Mia continues to develop an impressively individual vocal style, distinguished by her unique phrasing and minimalistic method of working in and around melody. The result travels far beyond mere folk and into territory best described as otherworldly. The album includes a complete lyric book, designed by Mia. Since the release of Come Out of Your Mine in the spring of 1999, Mia has toured nationally, opening for Kristin Hersh on an east and west coast tour in 1999 and then the following winter for Lou Barlow on the California portion of his Folk Implosion tour. Mia also choreographed and performed solo NohButohBalletShadowPlays in 2000, one entitled Dragon for Chinese New Year, the other Falling for the autumnal equinox.

Mia performs regularly in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles at venues such as the Silverlake Lounge, Spaceland, the Hollywood Knitting Factory, and The Smell.

CITY ZEN

Artist: TODD, MIA DOI Title: Gea
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
CTZ003
Price: $12.00 Label: City Zen
Release
Date:
2/25/08
***Gea is the seventh album by singer-songwriter-guitarist-poet-painter-dancer Mia Doi Todd. The album was recorded in Los Angeles, CA, self-produced in collaboration with Carlos Nino and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson.

Todd is a true artist-- an expressionist in many forms. Her garden of song is vast with flowers of infinite shape, color, size, and individuality. Gea is her most intuitive and primal collection of music yet, filled with incredible passion and sensitivity, revealing the depths of Todd's emotions, visions, and lyrical heart. The album opens with guitar and harmonium, accompanied by Andres Renteria on hand drums and prolific Chicago-based bassist Joshua Abrams (Sam Prekop, Prefuse 73). Broken, surviving, searching, and hopeful, Todd sings and chants, flowing in the great "River of Life" in which all beings travel. The songs each follow suit beautifully, evanescently, featuring woodwind, brass, and string arrangements by talented multi-instrumentalist/composer Atwood-Ferguson. His arrangements lift Todd on their wings for a mystical journey of intense projection, romance, mourning, and otherworldly imagery.

Artist: TODD, MIA DOI Title: Ewe And The Eye
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
CTZ002
Price: $12.00 Label: City Zen
Release
Date:
11/14/05
***Nearly ten years before the recent folk renaissance, Mia Doi Todd made an intimate and poetic first album, The Ewe and the Eye. It was recorded solo acoustically in one evening at the Spaceshed in Sierra Madre, California. The fourteen songs meditate upon nature, romance, loss and coming of age, in the tradition of Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath and Joni Mitchell. Originally released on Xmas Records in 1997, this long out-of-print college radio favorite is now available again on City Zen Records. The reissue includes Mia's original 16-page booklet of pen and ink drawings and new recordings of three songs-- "Planting," "Johnny Appleseed," and "Courting."

Todd has released five albums of her own genre-defying music and has toured nationally and in Europe. She has also collaborated with many rock, electronic, and hip-hop artists, contributing her unique voice and sensibility to the tunes of Folk Implosion, Dntel, Beachwood Sparks, DJ Nobody, Adventure Time, Saul Williams, Ammon Contact and more.
