History at Our Disposal is a constant work in progress that began in 1998 as an outlet for more than a decade of home recordings by Jason Reimer. In 1999 while listening to Prince, Dallas alt paper The Met called the first collection of recordings "a basement pop-psych monster". After moving to Denton Texas, HAOD became a two-man outfit that included Clay Stinnett, who met Jason while playing in Ghostcar, an improvisational rock/jazz group.

For the first two years it was mostly in support of the first record Novella a big fat 70’s epic was the first official recording for HAOD. The whole record was recorded at Jason’s home in 1999 nicknamed “the Sauna.” Live shows were never predictable and the band was often modified the songs from their recording sounding more like a collision of influences. In 2003 revolving new members began to add to the lineup and the sound became much larger. That year Reimer took a break to go on tour with the Baptist Generals (Sub Pop) throughout Europe and most of the US. In early 2004 Reimer returned to work again but this time it was on soundtracks for various projects including the Academy Award winning "Jesus Henry Christ" directed by Denis Lee. After several more film projects Reimer and collaborators began work on what would become "symbols in the architecture". Much of the previous years influence were felt on that record released by the Baltimore label Creative Capitalism.

During all of this Reimer began working on his own video installations and began performing the soundtracks live the first installment of which was Sept. 4 2004 at the Art Prostitute in Denton Texas. In September of 2005 Jason finished the touches on Symbols in the Architecture the second official full length from HAOD as well as participating in the Group show "Out of Site" in Denton Texas a group site specific art installation art show. The future will remain happily unpredictable for History at Our Disposal as the name implies.
