Free Static
Free Static is my long-running improvisational collaboration with synthesist Chris Ruiz.
Inspired by the studio as canvas and early electronic music, we uses found sound, synthesizers, tape, and acoustic instruments as a way to explore sonic texture and weird vibez through free improvisation.
We've gathered consistently since 2017 over a shared love found sounds, chance operation and creating with whatever is on hand. In 2019 we collaborated with artist and filmmaker Julia Oldham and created a live score to her 2018 work “View of the Red Forest”. We continue to record and perform regularly, and release cassettes and digital at freestatic.bandcamp.com.
Alongside my solo project Dead Sharp, this project has given me another chance to design album artwork, which was what inspired me to become a designer to begin with.
