Brian Wenner - "Chop Shop"

The Brooklyn based artist Brian Wenner crafts a track full of improvisatory, glitched out bliss on “Chop Shop” from the album Age of Execution. “‘Chop Shop’ was recorded in a single improvisational take and embodies a scattered, frenetic energy. Short sound snippets were randomly arranged and layered to create evolving melodic and rhythmic phrases that bounce around the listener. The video by Giselle Angeles compliments the track by placing the music inside of various distinct 3-D visual environments that shift and pulse in time. The organic virtual landscapes add a human component and juxtaposition to the synthetic sounding musical ideas.” Fans of OPN, Seth Graham and the video work of Matthew Gantt should take a hard look.
