F.M. Cornog is an odd one. He is an anomaly in this well-fed world of information—a diamond so deep in the dirt he’s likely to be glimpsed only by a keen-eyed few. Under his pen name East River Pipe, he has recorded extraordinary albums, all recorded and mixed entirely on a cheap multi-track mini-studio, with a bare minimum of outboard gear.
