Pith Balls and Inclined Planes is a mix of electro-acoustic, prepared acoustic guitar, horns and voices.

"A lot of artists call themselves 'unique,' but most rarely live up to the description. This is certainly THE exception--it would be hard to find anything quite as "unique" as Pith Balls and Inclined Planes, an experiment in noise and rhythm from Jeff Kaiser and Ernesto Diaz-Infante. It's a surreal adventure, filled with an abundance of experimentation and improvisation, musical modern art that deconstructs the structure and form of contemporary music. Beneath the noise of a horn or the squeal of fingers on a guitar string lies subtle nuances of control; a hidden underlying current of patterned thoughts and ideas. They lead you into one direction to simply turn you into a completey different one, always opting for the unexpected." - MISH MASH (excerpt)

"The CD is another good example of the pfMentum label's mandate, mostly about engaging improvisational statements, or otherwise pushing the envelope of musical possibilities." - Josef Woodard, LA Times (excerpt)
