About:

Tristan/Iseult is a nihilistic techno project that explores mythology sonically through modular synthesis. The project emerged first in a live setting back in 2015 at Der Bunker Teknobar in Phoenix, Arizona opening for SHXCXCHCXSH. That ethos of live sound exploration is reinforced with this set for Data Cult Audio, which was recorded in one take with no overdubs or post-production work. Up to this point, Tristan/Iseult has sought to give a nihilist reading of Dante’s Inferno, a profane understanding of moral sentiment as expressed through the narrative of sin and damnation. While modular synthesizers are the primary instruments used, cello and voice provide additional layers of sound — sometimes obvious, though at other times sampled and synthesized.

Tristen/Iseult is currently working on a debut 4-track EP.

About:

Pauk (Pau Cabruja) is a lover of knobs and buttons and is a self confessed controller addict. He has always tried to reflect personal experiences in his music,

researching new ways of creation, experimenting with analog and digital hardware and software, and always communicating through his Monome so that his works come alive on stage.

A statement of intents in his sound, where strength and emotion go hand in hand like life itself, a language of emotional melodies and super-edited twisted rhythms crushed with his digital blades.

About:

Sleep of Eons is the glitchy electronic modular/computer based audio visual work of Jorge Bojorquez from Tucson, AZ. In 2018 a shift from guitar based drone music to modular synths provided a long sought after solution to creating generative, slowly changing, self evolving soundscapes which could still be controlled by the player. With the aid of a/v programming languages like Max/MSP and Processing the project now is taking on a visual manifestation as well. 

RGB Riot was an EP released in early 2020 that showcases the opposite of these ideas and focuses on minimalism and what can be done with nothing but a couple of Pocket Operators and a delay pedal. The range of glitchy to drone and anywhere in between is welcome territory. At his core Sleep of Eons is inspired greatly by science fiction and the series Rendezvous with Rama and hopes to capture some of that monolithic, alien, otherwordly yet familiar feeling in musical and visual form.
