   About Banter/3.1
Born on the 31st anniversary of the first acid trip, colonial synth-rocker Justin H Brierley combines the ancient art of improvisation with shiny new technology. Utilizing synthesizers, MIDI, overdubs, and the occasional bit of virtual circuit bending, Mr. Brierley creates a Neo-Modernist Electronic Listening experience like no other. The result, which he has dubbed Improvised Dance Music for Intellectual Wall Flowers, is a free flowing electronic music with the improvised flair of Jazz, harmonic structures reminiscent of Bach, and textures influenced by synth pioneer Brian Eno as well as modern underground Hip-Hop.

The current Banter/3.1 album, Medicinal Reverb, is available at live performances, in person or by request.
The following two albums have been discontinued so get 'em while you can.

The Lionheart from Relix Magazine sample

“Time bends and you blast past planets, stars, solar systems, to arrive in a thrilling, exotic place you’ve never been before. The New Cartographers take you on the same kind of wild ride, exploring brave new musical worlds and bending concepts like looping and melody to their own virtuosic ways. McSurely and drummer Michael Petrucci map out fresh territory, using rock improvisation and textural sonics to define a terrain rich in sweeping beauty, daring in scope, and bristling with creative energy. Recording in Roslindale, Massachusetts’ Big Big Studios with an analog tape machine, vintage plate and spring reverbs, a sampler, and a handful of stomp boxes, they create what McSurely playfully calls “retro sounds of the future.
” – Ted Drozdowski (review excerpt)

also medicinal reverb is an achievement in dissonant soundscapes and psuedo-dance beats
