Featured artists this month: Walmort Portrait Studio, Hypnagogue, Jair-Johm Parker Wells and Jeff Snyder
Walmort Portrait Studio – The music of Walmort Portrait Studio explores the relationship between the tyranny of aging and copycat violence. With influences as diverse as Scarlatti and Poppy, new variations are manufactured from both mundane and transcendent structures. Ever since WPS met as children we have been fascinated by the unrelenting divergence of the human condition. What starts out as a triumph of artistic interrogation soon becomes corrupted into a carnival of lust, leaving only a sense of chaos and hope for a new order – “Daughter of the Regiment”. As subtle derivatives become reconfigured through diligent and academic practice, the listener is left with an epitaph for the edges of our world.
Hypnagogue is the solo project of New England based sound artist and musician James Rosato. With Hypnagogue, Rosato aims to create dynamic soundscapes using magnetic tape, processed guitar, and other source material. Rosato has been performing and recording under the name Hypnagogue since 2014 His latest release, “lying in a cold field, staring up at the sky”, reflects a minimalizing of style, and like Hypnagogue’s live performances, serves to hold space for the listener away from their immediate surroundings.
