About the artists:
Jon Mueller’s "The Future is Unlimited, Always" is an examination of time,
meditation and loss. In this piece, released in 2022 on the Virtues label
as a CD/book, the Wisconsin-based percussionist’s usual repetitive rhythms
and textures are replaced with fluid, calm tones, overlaid with
otherworldly wails. In live performances of the piece, Mueller employs a
variety of gongs, percussion and electronics to create an atmosphere
equally as easy to get lost in as it is to be propelled by.
“The Future is Unlimited, Always captures Mueller at his most spacious:
layers of frequencies and tones that are as engaging as they are
mysterious, and capturing more than just audio, but a deeper sense of
existence.” – Creaig Dunton, Brainwashed
Mueller’s aim has long been to move drums, percussion and rhythm from its
anticipated backbeat to a central musical focus, something more intuitive
and natural than usually imagined. Audiences throughout the United States,
Canada, Europe, Japan, and the United Kingdom have experienced this
idiosyncratic point of view as, paradoxically, both ‘cathartic’ and
‘meditative’. Notable solo performances have taken place at the Guggenheim
Museum, New Museum, Issue Project Room, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal,
Alverno Presents, Columbia Festival of Experimental Music, SXSW, Big Ears
Festival, Hopscotch Fest and Witching Hour Festival.
//
In both his sound art and his visual design, Cleveland’s Noah Depew
reflects on the navigation of an unnatural world, and distills those
experiences into a language that is unfamiliar yet still intelligible.
These sublimations can be observed in projects ranging from the intense
collaged noise of earlier solo work to the more recent Burning Plastic
Blues Band, which utilize synthesis, effected guitar, and tape manipulation
to achieve an auditory force that provokes an internal examination of the
listener. Like sunlight through a magnifying glass, Depew captures a
detailed textural experience and can focus it wherever he chooses.
