Dane Johnson & Álvaro Domene
Beneath The Earth There Are Machines
“This new collaboration between guitarists and composers Álvaro Domene and Dane Johnson aims to explore the possibilities of electric guitar-generated sounds to create a sonic tapestry of granular textures, glitch, metallic drones, and electronic soundscapes influenced by the works of Xenakis, Scelsi, Autechre, and La Monte Young. Their repertoire features a mixture of algorithmic and spontaneous compositions full of nuance, high density, and forward motion, on which they treat sound much like a living organism, rather than simply a means to an end."
