Ak’chamel has built a solid reputation as a compelling stage project. Wearing nightmarish costumes and engaging in hallucinatory “rituals”, their singular sound comprising desert-scorched psychedelia, post-apocalyptic shamanism, and lo-fi ritual-folk is as unique as the physical theater of their live performances.
Authors of around fifteen cassettes, three vinyl LP’s, several cryptic VHS videos and their reels have generated millions of views. They tour frequently and have performed major festivals on both sides of the Atlantic garnering press from VICE, Consequence, The Wire, and many more.
ELECTROGONG is a solo project created by Kansas City based multi-instrumentalist, Aaron Osborne. Ambient atmospheres are created using a combination of 1930's gong speaker technology, modern modular synthesis and electroacoustic percussion.
Utilizing modern implementations of technology developed in the 1930's, gongs and transducers are used to transmit the sounds of improvised ambient music. Sounds are generated using input from a constantly changing array of eurorack synthesis devices and electroacoustic percussion.
All sounds are created from a blank slate, composed in moment on site using an ever evolving array of eurorack synthesis modules, electroacoustic percussion and other sound source.
