    Artist History
    Biography for Pill’s Aren’t Enough “pill’s aren’t enough” was an experiment initiated by Jimmy Rahn in June 1999, to see if he could create an entire album with absolutely no money, using his computer as an improvisational instrumental tool. This LP also, draws off his ability to play traditional instruments, combined with his search for new sounds by using his resourcefulness and an addiction to finding information on the Internet. All of the songs on the debut full length CD “TWICE DAILY”, were recorded and arranged by Jimmy Rahn in his living room during the summer of 1999 in Syracuse, NY. He created this CD using mostly share ware and demo programs that he found on the Internet. “TWICE DAILY” creates lush and layered sound spaces, that alow the mind to wander through the daily rituals that many of us go through in dealing with contemporary existence. Escapism, is sought after, systems go hay-wire, relationships are broken down and new ones built, discontentment prevails and becomes a national past time, history is deconstructed, irony is sought after passionately, media is recycled, voyeurism becomes a commodity, and communication systems are coded and decoded. The “pills aren’t enough” live show will include rotating guest members to the band and an improvisational visual/light program. Jimmy Rahn says, “Please don’t ever come to one of our shows expecting to hear or see anything that was on the CD’s or visuals from one of our previous shows. We are ever changing and updating.” He adds “Because we are essentially an improve performance group it’s nearly impossible to try to create any of that shit anyway, so why even try? We’d rather explore new territory!” Jimmy Rahn began his interest in the arts as a musician at the age of ten. At seventeen he relocated to Philadelphia, where he completed an Associate degree in painting, then transferred to the Maryland Institute Collage of Art, where he received a B.F.A. in painting with a minor in Language and Literature. During his stay in Baltimore he became interested in video technology and actively explored the medium although the school did not offer a degree in that area of study. Jimmy has shown video and painting though out the US. Some of these cities include Buffalo, NY Syracuse, NY New York, NY Philadelphia, PA Dallas, TX Washington DC Baltimore, MD and Tacoma, WA. He has also initiated and organized several group shows and venues for contemporaries to exhibit work that continue to run, such as the
