therefore
bio:
therefore surfaces as various incarnations from a pool of approaches and near misaims. calculated yet improvisational, meditative and simultaneously anxiety-infused, the path may be straight, but full of self-placed obstacles. it is that sound between a lost past and an uncertain future. almost 6 years old, therefore continues to incorporate elements of punk, progressive economics, sonic graffiti, to analyze the production and distribution of goods and services of art/music and its various guises
"while not stylistic purists, they are often purposeful, considerate simpletons in their composition, and this is economically viable sound between gaps and fragments of air. you'll rarely hear an entire run of the scale, a completed musical thought, instead bones, husks, and chalklines." - sound collector
"when it comes to noise, therefore knows how to make it. and use it. and turn it into music you won't soon forget. what a lovely racket." - william duckworth
