Hello World

About Me


Leafblower was borne of cynical comments toward the snobbery of ambient and electronic music. In 2002, Janic Castagner and Mark DeCheser reunited, this time without traditional musical instruments and instead using PCs, old MIDI controllers, and software. The objective to create the most self-indulgent glitch and ambient sounds with as few audio cables as possible. The music is created through the use of softsynths, self-generated samples & sounds, found sounds, and absorptions from the world around them. Their collaboration has led them to live performances in Philadelphia and NJ, and more recently to incorporate all sorts of various video visualizations to accompany their live performances. Of all things, Leafblower strives for a unique production sound, using their eclectic tastes and unconventional approach to add nuance to their music.
