Originally hailing from Hickory, NC thepursuitofsleep is the solo electronic/noise/post-anything-you-listen-to project of Jeremy Smith. Now located in Chapel Hill, NC thepursuitofsleep is off hiatus and in the studio (i.e. where ever he can chain smoke on a laptop) working on his upcoming fourth album. Thepursuitofsleep has no assigned sound format; you may hear a improve noise performance, an ambient dance set, or a keyboard smashing glitch catastrophe. No two thepursuitofsleep performances have ever consisted of the same material and that is the intention.
Music should be unique and personal. It is like a gift to the audience you are playing for, so playing the same material again and again is just cheating listeners and limiting an artist. In preparation for the upcoming new album, thepursuitofsleep is seeking shows on the east coast. Thepursuitofsleep is happy to play your show/festival/basement/funeral/barmitzva, just drop me an e-mail of when, where, and if gas money and free drinks are involved. The first three albums are all currently out of print.
There is a DIY German label still selling february stereo (not like they have my permission, but who am I to deprive German kids of music?) which you may be able to locate via search engine. In the near future I hope to have february stereo and selected tracks from white-label 1 and 2 available via paid download service. Got a small terrestrial label? MP3 label? Putting a comp together? Hit me up and maybe we can work something out.
