Telescoping (Seattle, WA)
“Composed of Stateside experimental music figureheads Alan Jones, Robert Millis, Dave Abramson, and Greg Kelley, the brand-new project emerges from the dark depths of isolation and quarantine with their self-titled debut: four cuts of dense, nocturnal improvised music.”
-Jack Davidson, Noise Not Music

Tag Cloud (Washington, DC)
"Recurrent throughout A Footnote Of Sorts is the harsh buzz of noise and lights. The electrical hum of an abandoned classroom. The purr of halogen signs. Voltage leaking out of fractured wiring. I start to picture Tag Cloud as a connoisseur of imperfect circuitry, with a basement stacked with broken Motel lights and dying synthesisers, orchestrating their various rates of decay into choruses of microtonal buzz."

Attorneys General (Baltimore, MD)
Attorneys General is a project led by Matthew Byars of DC-based band The Caribbean. A formative experience for Byars as a listener was hearing the work of soundman Martin Swope of Mission of Burma on their seminal 1985 live record, The Horrible Truth About Burma, in which Swope, using a reel-to-reel tape machine, captured, looped, manipulated, and destroyed elements of the band’s sound in spontaneous and unexpected ways. Byars has adapted this approach to having three-four people (different players every time, mostly) generate utterly improvised sound through a mixing board he controls, which allows him to capture, loop, manipulate, and destroy the sounds they create. Results vary from the transcendent to the disastrous, but the inherent risk involved is, ultimately, the point.

Jeremiah Carter & Kelby Clark (TN)
What is experience, but a husk made up of moments in time, formed by myths, habits and rituals, molded by the country we happen to call home. Who are we, but specters facing the uncertainty of the coming day, while navigating the winding roads of our past. What is left, but to make sense of it all through the gaze of a lover, discover passion through the kinship of music, embrace life, through the ancient fibers of the land.
