Trtl Soup

Trtl Soup is an operation under the hands of Alex Minicozzi, spawned from a small town in New Jersey. His music is self-recorded, produced, and written focusing on trying to keep things as interesting as possible. Sometimes this is handled with multiple changes within a single song or a mash-up in song structure. Instrumentally, there is anything that can be obtained in use including home-made instrumentation focusing mainly on the electronics. Although at first listen, someone would tag Trtl Soup for strange, but there is a subtle humor and fun factor that is constantly interwoven. Alex is a devoted fan of anything musical and is strongly influenced by his eclectic taste.

"E to the Eye Pie Equals One" is the full length debut release from Trtl Soup built around recordings done over the past 3 years. Ranging from the loud and energetic "Wall Street Wants His Bottle" and "Belly Talkers" to the more ear-pleasing "Ely (Nevada)" which builds off of a spaghetti western whistle to create a full desert landscape. Songs like "Ben Seaver", "Grandmaster Fascist" and "Halitosis" are prime examples in the Trtl Soup recipe of not standing in the same place for more than one micro-minute. Using as many different ingredients as possible, Alex is afraid of his audience hitting a state of boredom so he does all he can to keep that from happening. The album concludes with the epic narrative "Turtle Soup" which is in essence the most typical of Trtl Soup tracks. This final track evolves many times telling a story both verbally and musically which ultimately leads to a very appropriate closer to both the album and the live performance.
