Rising from the economic ruins of 2003, cntr is a two-piece electonica outfit that resides in a heavily armed compound somewhere south of San Francisco. The success of cntr stems from its influential tension. Combining elements of trip-hop, industrial, glitch, dark ambient and drone, cntr does more to fill in the gaps between genres than to stand out as an example of one particular genre. Be it an industrial track with groove, a glitch track with organic overtones, or a drone love song, cntr's music offers an unsettling landscape that defies immediate categorization.
I hadn't gigged much in SF until just recently. I'm looking forward to playing some small shows here and there to develop my live aspect a bit. Do you have any shows planned?
Very interesting work. You have a fantastic sense of environment and you really pay close attention to the soundfield and all the space therein. Sweet and dark all at the same time.
I have a tremendous amount of admiration for what you're doing. Such beauty, I got lost for some time.
To answer, most of my work is manipulated acoustic sound -- rarely do synthesised sounds resonate with what I'm thinking. How you do it, I'll never know. Most of your work sounds computer-generated, yet oh-so-natural and sexy. Respect to you.
