"...The musical landscape and signposts will doubtless
appear familiar but you'll soon lose yourself in it quite
happily, not caring that you don't really know where you are."
- Mick Mercer (Review of The Forgotten Age)
"...Indeed, the rhythmic machine sounds and classically-based
melodies intertwined throughout Vernian Process's music give the artist's
soundscapes the feel of a fin-de-siecle Victorian age poised between a
new age of thundering steam engines and the traditional sensibilities of classical composers."
- Neal L. Dodge ~ The Clockwork Wasteland
~ About Vernian Process ~
Vernian Process is a musical collective, founded by Joshua A. Pfeiffer in 2003. Josh released 2 self-produced albums before being contacted by Martin Irigoyen who joined as an official member of the project in November 08'.
Shortly after Bassist "Peter Zarate", Guitarist/Violin player "Ash", "Piano/Keyboard player "Heather Yager", and drummers "Ron Andonico" and "Free" joined throughout 2009. Cellist, "Erica Mulkey" (aka. Unwoman) is a frequent guest in the bands live performances as well.
In 2006 Josh began work on the band's current release Behold the Machine. When Martin joined in Fall of 08', the two of them decided to completely overhaul the album in Martin's studio, "The Sound Alchemist's Laboratory". Currently the album is scheduled to release in November 2009.
Vernian Process' musical influences range from Post-Punk/New Wave, Classic Industrial, Darkwave, Deathrock, Trip-Hop, Dreampop, Cabaret, Neo-Classical (and many more) filtered through a dimly lit Victorian lens. At times, epic, militant, and mechanical. While equally pastoral, serene, uplifting and positive when it needs to be.
Vernian Process attempts to address collective human issues in the context of a dark, and whimsical 19th Century setting.
We are proud members of the Vintage inspired music collective:
