about

bentfestival.org#Performer/803

We are Threep, fishers of sound, we cast our nets into spectral seas and deep canyons of circuitry and code.

Armed with a bewildering array of bakelite knobs, patch cables, software and custom made controllers and instruments we explore parallel worlds within sound and circuitry. Fusing field recordings and granular textures with analogue rhythms and hardware hacked sound ignoring the boundaries of conventional musical composition. Whilst carefully crafting compositions in the studio with meticulous attention to detail we take an entirely improvised approach to live performance, effortlessly navigating between the delicate and the brutal, minimalism and complexity.

Every performance is unique.
