Warp Records
Signs Tyondai Braxton of Battles
Warp Records has signed Tyondai Braxton
to a solo deal to release his upcoming
yet to be named album. If the name sounds
familiar, it's because he's also a member
of another Warp band, Battles.
He's also a Prefuse 73 co-conspiritor,
helping out Scott Herron on his
Surrounded by Silence album last year.
Tyondai Braxton is an experimental
solo artist that layers sounds by manipulating
electronic devices. He often sits down
while doing this, and works the sounds
up into symphonic resonance. Or in his
words: “’Orchestrated loops’
created with voice, guitar, found objects
and guitar pedals in real time. The set
up is an attempt to create the illusion
of movement and density of an ensemble
or orchestra as just one person while
employing techniques created by DJ's of
deconstructing composed music to create
new piece.”
Dr. Braxton, I presume? He'll be playing
soon in New York at the Lower Manhattan
Cultural Council and Pine.
