In mid-2017 LA-based record producer, orchestral composer and multi-instrumentalist Jason Achilles debuted his self produced, fully analog recorded Comedown LP and began what would prove a virtually endless tour cycle in support of this and forthcoming releases.

After a good deal of initial live experimentation, Achilles and drummer Forrest Mitchell settled in to an unlikely two-piece arrangement primarily for reasons of 'economics' (ie. not having to pay more musicians). It was only after a smattering of rehearsals and taking this new broken-down paired concept on the road, that they discovered to their surprise how the resulting 'juggling act' rapid switching of instruments in live performance resonated with audiences. In keeping with the wholly organic nature of the album recording process, the duo now continue to perform their live instrumentation of guitar, bass, keys and drums simultaneously with the aid of minimal looper techology, and maximum creative spark.

In addition to recording and touring with his band internationally, Jason also works as an indepedent contractor with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in tandem with planetary scientists seeking to capture the first recorded sounds from the planet Mars in the coming decade. Select performance dates with the live duo will occasionally feature a combined space lecture discussing these and other groundbreaking efforts into the world of extraterrestrial audio research. Special engagements have included events for Caltech, The Space Tech Expo (Pasadena, CA), and the California Academy of Sciences (San Francisco).
