   About The Protist

The Protist is an electronic music and visual arts duo based in California. Formed in 2007 by brothers Matt and Justin Kleiner, they create multimedia projects, involving music, painting, and video. - Bio


Submerged from the Protist on Vimeo.

"While firmly planted in its Electronic roots, The Protist ventures into new territory with its first release. Hints of music from many different genres all come together to create a unique fusion that combines a multitude of sounds. While listening, one may notice the influence of electronic musicians, such as DJ Krush or Björk. And upon further exploration, the subtleties come out, which range from Dub to Orchestral and everything in between. Aside from musical influences, the EP draws inspiration from the city of San Francisco, where it was recorded. Ethereal synths float over gritty beats like the fog that gently envelopes the city, while an array of sonic textures mesh together like the many cultures who reside there." - Press Release


"San Fran's the Protist turns in a certified monster of a beat with "The Bhabar Belt." Brooding, cinematic keys on the intro make way for a fresh sitar sample that works to perfection over some seriously bangin' drum programming. Download this down-tempo gem and see why yours won't be the only head nodding… If you're into big, atmospheric production, this track is top-class!" - Myxertones

Nice. I'll be looking forward to the treat of your music. As for what I've been listening to lately, a lot of the artists on the Tympanik Audio label: Ad.ver.sary, Aphorism, Broken Fabiola, Flint Glass, Subheim, Totakeke, etc. All very worthwhile artists. Dark, Ambient, textured. Other worlds opened. If you are seeking a label, I'd suggest them.

Dear friend
We are so happy to announce

NEW ALBUM IS OUT NOW!!!


Our new album "Herbarium" is out now on CdBaby (MP3 so far, physical CD is on its way).

Diverse palette of styles (post-rock, ambient, electronica, trip-hop, with elements of noise, dub, neoclassic and free improvisation), united by cinematic, slightly pensive mood.

«Herbarium» is called so because of heterogeneity of «songs», which can be compared to miscellaneous leaves in the album, still being belonged to the family of trees. Trying to avoid non-alive metaphors here, only thought of diversity and warm and innermost feeling that herbarium is capable to conjure up. «... This leaf I picked up in the park where I met her, and this - I sat by the river, contemplating...». So tracks were created – one was captured in some magic jam, another – recorded layer by layer and meticulously mixed then, next – cut from previous sessions and so on.

All compositions are united by Poostosh sense of music – mostly pensive, spatial, tender and experimental. There's a lot of soul and charisma in every leaf... So please let your soul look over our HERBARIUM.
