CELERYMAN
Celeryman is a trio comprised of Henna Dress (amazing 8-bit Gameboy
player) Haruna Ito (from SKIST, ever-interesting sound artist,
vocalist and audio-verite experimenter) and Samm Bennett (Korg WaveDrum
rhythmist extraordinaire). Henna Dress's ever-shifting Gameboy sequences and
Samm's live WaveDrum patterns together form a solid foundation, punctuated and
accented by Haruna's vocal, percussion and electronic sound devices.
Though Henna Dress's Gameboy patterns are sequences, they are manipulated in
real time, live, in a constantly unfolding panorama of development, and Samm's
live drumming goes even further to bring the group's rhythmic character into a
very human dimension. Haruna brings the human voice into the mix, plus other
organic and electronic sounds, and the result is a sound that is a truly
refreshing blend of sonic worlds and sensibilities.
Perhaps no other group is currently bridging the gap between the 8-bit
Game-Music world and hands-on human music performance in the way that Celeryman
is doing.
