Land Sound

Land Sound is the musical collaboration of Robert Crouch and Silencefiction (Marc Kate). Combining laptops with live electronics, Land Sound creates minimal electronic music that explores the tension between dance floor propulsion and headphone-worthy obsession with detail. Drawing inspiration from a wide array of sources such as conceptual art, photography, house, “shoe gazing,” and ambient music, Land Sound is both a celebration of this latitude as it is the struggle to maintain cohesion within the context of the dance floor. “How do I create a track or a set that is both psychedelic and cerebral?” Kate asks, “Or lush and minimal? Exploring that tension is what excites me about techno.”
