Since 2000, a side project of producer multi-instrumentalist David LeBleu, Textual Originally started as a way to make instrumental music alone utilizing a computer. After many experiments in performance and with software, a 2003 tour of Japan with Dave's band The Mercury Program, led to the release of the CD "Hindsight Sunglasses" exclusively in Japan on Stiff Slack Records released in 2004. After much evolution and inclusion of other members for live performance including the voice of Rain Phoenix, The album "Dirty South Still Life" was released as an LP in July of 2005 by Organik Recordings, and a CD version was released in summer of 2007. Following the DSSL release, There was another limited self release CDR of early works that pre-dated the Hindsight Sunglasses material.
From May 05' till the present Textual has performed several live shows as a full live band including live percussion, bass, vibes, electric piano, synths, and vocals. Most recently since relocating to New York City in July 2006, Dave has been experimenting with more analog electronic instruments, building his own as well as modifying and circuit bending pre-existing instruments and devices, moving Textual's music toward a more ambient and loop based style teetering on the edge of avant jazz. Throughout 2009 has been spent working towards turning Textual into a more modular performance setup that can be solo or include various performers at times.
