ITERAE brings together New York electronic musician Joseph Branciforte and Belgian keyboardist Jozef Dumoulin, two artists who have reimagined the sonic language of the Fender Rhodes piano and the potential of technology to shape musical improvisation.
Dumoulin is a Belgian keyboardist recognized for his role in redefining the Fender Rhodes as a 21st-century instrument, forging a highly personal musical language through extensive electronic manipulation. Branciforte is a composer, producer, and fellow Rhodes experimentalist known for bridging acoustic and electronic worlds in collaborations with Theo Bleckmann, Taylor Deupree, and Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Their performances center around two separate Rhodes pianos, each artist applying his own array of processing and effects. In addition to sound generation, Branciforte harnesses a custom live editing system—designed to process both musicians' outputs in real time. This software allows him to capture and reconfigure musical material on the fly, creating cascading, lattice-like structures from small details within the unfolding improvisation.
The result is a sound that merges aspects of the early glitch movement with bold explorations of harmony and form—weaving together threads from modern classical, electroacoustic, and ambient to create something decisively of the present.
Their debut album ITERAE is due out on Greyfade in April 2026.

Joseph Branciforte (b. 1985) is a musician, composer, designer, and sound artist whose work explores the intersection of structured systems and emergent phenomena through custom-built technology. He works fluidly across performance, composition, and installation in both acoustic and electronic mediums.
His recorded works include collaborations with vocalist Theo Bleckmann—LP1 (2019) and LP2 (2023)—that The New Yorker praised as "beguiling explorations of voice and machine,” and Sti.ll (2024), his acoustic arrangement of Taylor Deupree's microsound work, which Pitchfork called "a contemporary classical composition of arresting beauty."
In 2019, he founded the Greyfade record label as a platform for artists exploring process-based composition, alternative tuning systems, and digitally mediated forms of improvisation. As both curator and designer, Branciforte brings careful attention to sound, concept, and visual form, crafting a cohesive identity that bridges music and art.
Alongside his artistic practice, Branciforte has shaped the sound of hundreds of albums as a GRAMMY award-winning recording engineer and producer, collaborating with many of the most respected figures in experimental music. He maintains a busy production schedule mixing and mastering records at Greyfade Studio, located just north of New York City.

Jozef Dumoulin is a Belgian composer, pianist, and electronic musician whose work has fundamentally redefined the expressive and sonic possibilities of the Fender Rhodes electric piano. Dumoulin approaches the Rhodes not as a nostalgic artifact but as a living, mutable system—capable of a vast textural palette, harmonic openness, and moments of fragile instability.
His landmark 2014 recording A Fender Rhodes Solo was the first full-length solo album devoted entirely to the instrument, presenting the Rhodes as a complete compositional and improvisational environment. Rather than foregrounding idiom, the work examined how an expanded, technologically mediated soundworld alters the conditions of improvisation—not as an overlay, but as an intrinsic extension of touch, timing, and intention—quietly establishing a sonic terrain that has informed a generation of keyboardists working at the intersection of electronics and improvisation.
This approach reached a different expressive intensity on Rainbow Body, a trio recording with bassist Trevor Dunn and drummer Eric Thielemans. The album situates Dumoulin’s keyboard playing within a finely balanced mix of composed and improvised frameworks, merging post-rock production sensibilities with the fluidity and harmonic abstraction of post-jazz. What emerges is a dynamic, forward-leaning group music driven as much by collective momentum as by individual voice.
Dumoulin has collaborated with artists such as Arve Henriksen, Stian Westerhus, Benoît Delbecq, Mark Turner, Nelson Veras, and Marc Ducret, and leads projects such as Lilly Joel and the Red Hill Orchestra. Across these contexts, his music resists stylistic enclosure, occupying a space where jazz improvisation, experimental electronics, and composed form coexist without hierarchy. He is based in Paris.
