About:

MODEKT is the dark experimental electronic synth project from Austin based creative Colin Williams. His sound is crafted by fusing electronic and acoustic instruments with field recordings. The outcome is a wall of atmospheric textures designed to take the listener on an aural journey. He has performed around the US in Texas, Michigan & California with a small erurorack modular system. The recently released EP, Isolation caught the attention of Errorgrid, who decided to bring him on for future releases.

About:

Mimetik is a music project which was born in Hamburg, but followed Alessandro, a mathematician interested in both audio and visual arts, through a couple of cities to finally land in Berlin.

Mostly concerned with ambient music, it does not shy away from other genres, be it indie songwriting, techno or aleatoric music. Making use of Alessandro's guitar and piano playing, it tries to bridge the gap between experimental sound design and melancholic lullabies, refusing to accept pop and melodic as highbrow synonyms for simplistic and uninteresting.

It can be found lost in drones or modular synths ambientscapes, usually at night, when no one is watching.

About:

DREAMSTORAGE aka Josh Penunuri is a multi-instrumentalist and electronic music composer from Riverside, CA. Josh uses modular synthesis for creating complex longform ambient compositions. The compositions are aleatoric yet harmony is always maintained and dissonance is minimal as it is used mostly as a textural component. Josh’s music is both the outcome of experimentation and careful melodic structuring. One key theme in his compositional framework is morphogenesis. Melodic structures often morph into new structures while retaining familiar characteristics. The transitions from one phrase to another are morphological in nature and never suggest abruptness. Prior to pursuing electronic music, Josh played bass in several bands. His experience playing with other musicians has endowed him with an understanding of harmony.

About:

For much of his youth, Brandon Krotser (aka krouzer_) spent countless hours pouring over artists like Trent Reznor, Massive Attack, and many other rock, trip hop, and electronic influences. Following high school, he took the plunge and pursued a music career as the keyboardist for the alt rock outfit Hierosonic.

After a decade of writing, recording, and extensive touring, Hierosonic disbanded, with Krotser shifting his focus to his own personal material. After spending a few years deep diving into modular synthesizers, krouzer_ was formed. Drawing from the likes of Autechre, Boards of Canada, Orbital and even trip hop pioneer DJ Shadow, krouzer_ is the culmination of Krotser’s influences… unapologetically contrasting and without compromise.

Spatial sound experiments have driven his performance directions and sound design influenced by the movement of sound.

Chris is constantly exploring performance and interaction with sound.

His artistic bent has allowed him to better develop more intriguing instruments and ways to communicate through sound.

About:

Andy Morello is an electronic musician that specializes in original productions and remixes. He employs newer technologies along with traditional analog ones, with an aim at finding the link between improvisation and programming.

Initially his electronic productions and live performances were dub based until Andy found modular synthesis in 2017. From this he honed his approach to modular performance and defined his style of impromptu sound installation. He music is improvisational, and unique to every performance.

His live is a journey through rarefaction, granulation, dub, techno and rigorously no-DAW, analogue experimentation is created live and obviously controlled by voltage.

In 2018 he created Milano Modulare by collecting numerous memberships from all over Italy, and gathering the attention and support of many artists, performers and fans. By doing this he created a real community linked to modular synths. Andy continues and collaborating others organizing different events and concerts, such as the first modular day in Milan in 2019.

About:

Alpha Decay aka Ambre Laparra Blumenfeld is a French live sound engineer based in Barcelona. Well know in the European underground modular scene, she began to build a DIY modular system a few years ago, perfecting a patch that allows her to 100% improvised all her performances and one take recordings.

Noisy oneiric electro break, she likes to play poly-rhythmic sounds and loads of breaks to create intuitional pieces not coming from conventional musical structures but just letting a feeling growing and transmit it.

About:

Born and raised in New York, Anthony Baldino is an LA based composer and sound designer whose work spans an enormous range of production avenues. The likelihood that you haven't heard his work is nearly impossible, with music and sound design in too many trailer campaigns to list, including Prometheus, Interstellar, Ex-Machina, Star Wars: Rogue One, Avengers: Infinity War and End Game just to name a few. From there, his work ventures to the opposite pole of production with custom sound design based compositions for Dolby Labs mixed in Atmos, beautifully glitched out remixes for artists such as Trifonic, Matt Lange as well as Travis Scott’s “Pray 4 Love” as heard in the Uncut Gems trailer, and continues on to mind-bending modular synthesizer performances.

This collection of works are all unreleased demos including modular patches and ambient sketches and the set closes with the last song, “Beneath The Fall”, off of his debut release “Twelve Twenty Two”.
