• darwinsbitch
Sokai Stilhed uses a large variety of instruments and her haunting, otherworldy, blue as blue can be voice to lull you into her richly imaginative and vividly textured world.
Jim Haynes manifests a broken minimalism whose magnetic drones give the impression of timelessness, when in fact the environment is quite active. Drawing from shortwave radio static, electric field disturbances, controlled feedback manipulation, and numerous textural scrapings, This engineering of disparate materials and media seeks to evince the unpredictability of decay, to manifest its potential for a rough hewn beauty, and to bare witness to its inevitability. In addition to his solo work, Jim Haynes has participated in a number of fruitful collaborations over the years with Loren Chasse (as Coelacanth), Keith Evans, Steven Stapleton/Nurse With Wound, and irr. app. (ext.)/M.S. Waldron.
darwinsbitch is fluid forms of drones, doomy laments, and folk melodies fleshed out from a backbone of sine oscillators and violin. Sound sources from the environment blend with instruments such as piano, ocean-harp, guitar, bass, and specially designed computer programs to create a unique sonic hybrid between the acoustic and the digital
