1) Post punk, experimental art… Read Full Bio ↴Gray is the name of multiple artists:
1) Post punk, experimental art-rock. In downtown New York City, in 1979, painter Jean-Michel Basquiat and performance artist Michael Holman founded their industrial-sound band, Gray. Jean named the band after Gray's Anatomy, an important reference source for his paintings and the perfect name to capture the haunting, machine-like ambient music the band wrote and performed. Besides Basquiat and Holman, other members were Nicholas Taylor and Justin Thyme. Vincent Gallo was a member for a short period of time nearer the end of their first incarnation. In the Whitney Museum's catalogue for Basquiat's 1991 retrospective, Robert Farris Thompson, professor of Anthropology at Yale, wrote: "They worked the Mudd Club, CBGB's, and Hurrah's in New York, where Blondie and the Talking Heads were at that time emerging. They performed, in other words, at the epicenter of New Wave. Here they contended for space and recognition with a style that, in Basquiat’s own words, was 'incomplete, abrasive, and oddly beautiful'." In an Interview Magazine review (1981) Glenn O'Brien wrote: "Gray became an industrial sound effects band. They played on scaffolds... Lately, they've really developed their own groove... It's sort of an easy listening bebop industrial sound effects lounge ensemble". Just after Jean-Michel Basquiat's passing in 1988, Holman, Taylor, Thyme and Gallo re-united and performed at Basquiat's Memorial at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in the Citicorp Building.
In 1996, the making of the MiraMax feature production Basquiat brought Gray’s three original members (Holman, Taylor & Thyme) back together as they reenacted one of their legendary gigs at the Mudd Club with Tony Award winning actor Jeffrey Wright playing Jean-Michel Basquiat.
2) Arranger of Disorder Circulation, works closely with Czk. Produces mainly ambient and experimental music, and is also an arranger for Ruxia. http://dc.seeds-9.com/

Sun Valley Jump
GRAY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Good morning
You sleepyhead
It's dawning
Stop yawning
Get out of that bed
Say the air is soft as silk
It's time to get the morning milk
Wake up!
Get up!
Look at the grass
Silver in the sun
Heavy with the dew
Look at the buds
You can almost see
How they're breaking through
Look at the birds
Feeding all their young
In the sycamores
But you better get on
With your morning chores
Just take a breath
Of that new-mown hay
And the sugarcane
Looks like tonight
There should be a moon
Down in lovers' lane
There you go daydreaming
When it's time that you obeyed
That sunrise serenade
Gray's "Sun Valley Jump" is a cheerful and uplifting song that encourages listeners to wake up and start their day. The song begins with a series of "Good morning" greetings, and urges the listener to stop yawning and get out of bed. The lyrics describe the beauty of the morning, with air that is soft as silk and grass that is silver in the sun. The buds can be seen breaking through, and the birds are busy feeding their young in the sycamores. The singer acknowledges that there is much to do, and that it's time to get on with the morning chores.
The lyrics also touch on the idyllic romance that can be found in the countryside. The sugarcane looks promising for a moonlit night down in lovers' lane, and the singer notes that it's easy to get caught up in daydreams. But ultimately, it's time to obey the sunrise serenade and start the day. The message of the song is clear: there is much to be done, but the morning is a beautiful time to be alive.
One interesting fact about "Sun Valley Jump" is that it was written by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon, a legendary songwriting duo responsible for hits like "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and "At Last." The song was first performed by Glenn Miller and his orchestra in the 1941 film "Sun Valley Serenade." Another interesting fact is that "Sun Valley Jump" was inspired by the picturesque beauty of the Sun Valley ski resort in Idaho. The resort was known for its glamorous clientele and ritzy nightlife in the 1930s and 1940s.
