 ”ALIEN TAPES is kind of a meditation on the relationship of proximity between the body, the room, and the sound.” says Geo Wyeth, “Half of it was recorded on tape with a lot of live mixing and outboard effects.  Half of it was recorded by digital means and features heavy production.  Leading up to its release, I have been holding curated listening events in tandem as ways of bringing people together — the album functions as a drawing together of embodied experiences, and I hope it is approached in this way.”

WREST is a collision; a dueling violent negotiation of form, theme, and texture. Starting in May of 2010, WREST was a performance project, a locus for intermedia exploration and is now an album of music. Over the last two years composer and intermedia artist, Jules Gimbrone, has cultivated a place for collaboration and cross-medium exchange with filmmakers, dancers, and artists. Centering around Gimbrone’s 7-piece electroacoustic ensemble, WREST depicts moments of imperative change housed within the queer body.  Gimbrone’s ensemble creates a symphonic landscape through a dramatic mash of polyrhythm, grand melodic gestures, abrasive sound textures, and primordial vocalizations to be explored through a variety of vantages.
