Sounds Like: AA23 was compared to both Ultra Red and Afrikka Bambatta after an opener for Sol Invictus in Hollywood, California. Generally AA23 tends to bounce from highly rhythmic, often ethnic or hip-hop influenced textures over pulsing low frequency tones to completely ambient sets that lull audiences to sleep within minutes. Performing with the original instruments / running live midi is the standard for live shows. AA23 has never, nor will ever play to an MP3, CD, DAT, ADAT, or any pre-recorded media.
