Bio
.. .. .. Sonarchy was formed in the fall of 2003 through a mutual interest in experimental and improvised music and sound. As all three members are practitioners of collage in a visual element, it made sense to engage our collective expression through sound collage or “bootleg” as it is also known. By layering pre-recorded material from external sources, Sonarchy is challenging the very notion of copyright. Theoretically, Sonarchy performances are rooted in the Surrealist concept and critical analysis of "miserabilism" (defined as the idea that misery is the only possible reality ) and a Dadaist sense of the absurd The juxtaposition of vernacular recordings intended for a mass audience with lesser known experimental and ethnographic volumes spanning the early-mid 20th century to present allow the trio to create a dreamlike audio landscape, or sonic alchemy. Sonarchy’s performances are done in a purely live context with no pre-mixing or studio sampling being utilized. All arranging is largely improvised, although Sonarchy has collectively composed pieces when working with visual elements such as dance and film.
