Description
Jeremy Bible and Jason Henry are two productive artists based in
Canton, Ohio, an area of the United States referred to as 'the rust
belt' due to its rapid industrial decline. Similar to their
surroundings which contrast rural farmland against decaying industrial
landscapes, the duo contrast various sounds and styles in ways that
can be compared to the elegant and subtle color contrasts created by
painters of fine abstract-expressionist art. Utilizing field
recordings, found sounds, acoustic instrumentation and electronic
soundscapes, their compositions take place in the wide field of
musique concrete, experimental acoustic music, and electronic sound
design.
"glare" is a huge piece of modern contemporary music. 5 tracks, about
60 minutes duration.
>From the first track, you can almost grab the intense and exciting
spirit, being inherent in these pieces. Dark and gloomy melodies meet
abstract glitches, lost radio frequencies, mysterious field recordings
and other interferences. With all these ingredients, Jeremy and Jason
create warm, nostalgic, and at times frightening scenery.
It smells like old basements, dusty treasure chests, old physical
instruments and yellowed pictures from your grandmother's photo album.
The duo's growing catalog of "sound paintings", each creating a new
experience, will see release through a growing list of labels
including Resting Bell, Gruenrekorder, Abgurd, Gears of Sand, and
their own imprint, Experimedia.
