about

The seeds for Nugent 9K were planted one blustery winter evening in Port Huron, Michigan (despite the cold and no doubt snowy conditions for planting seeds), while its founders Noah Waldeck and Shawn McMahan were watching the classic 80’s film, Fletch. Without even completing the film, the duo immediately began collaborating on an experimental electronic project which they called Nugent 9K (which was inspired by the fellow Michigander, hunting activist, cutoff sleeve snakeskin shirt wearing musician Ted Nugent, and the arbitrary numbers electronic groups traditionally attach to their names). Nugent 9K recorded a number of instrumental songs utilizing at least two different MIDI Keyboards and perhaps a couple of Apple loops. That project would later go on to be described as a frightening blend of synthesized classical instruments used incorrectly. Which inspired the title of this very album (albeit in a slightly altered fashion), A Frightening Assortment of Classical Instruments Used Incorrectly. Those tracks then sat unused and dormant for several years while Nugent 9K was on a seemingly indefinite hiatus while Noah and Shawn focused their attention on the Patrick Stewart Jungle Experience, an amazingly named band for which no music has ever been performed or written, and Gloria Trotter Needs A Kidney, a sloppy, noisy indie rock band which is actually a lot of fun. Gloria Trotter is on a short break while its members start families and stuff, so Nugent 9K was reborn during a chance encounter with the recordings that make up this album on a old hard drive. Which is possibly the greatest thing that has ever happened to the world, or maybe more specifically you’re ears. It's probably not like anything you've ever heard before… we know it's not like anything we had heard before we made it. It certainly doesn't sound anything like the soundtrack to Fletch, but we're actually kind of sad about that. Perhaps it could even be the start of a new genre, which we might call Synth Class if we were in charge of those kinds of things. It will without a doubt change your life, for the better or worse. So do yourself a favor download it. It’s free anyway…
