Nectarine is uneasy music born from an uneasy mind. A bleeding heart liberal based in Houston, TX – I’ve been composing and recording experimental electronic music as both a reaction to and an escape from the current state of our nation.
Built around computer generated beats and homemade circuit bent instruments, Nectarine's music is dense and complex, familiar and foreign. Glitchy beats collide with children's xylophones and broken toys to create a sound collage that has been called "paranoid", "chaotic" and "enticing" by listeners.
In addition to solo work, I’m a member of the improvisational electronic act together.We are Instruments along with good friends/fellow freaks Eddie Parsec and Doc LeJuene (rocketshipajax). I also contribute textures and electronic chaos to a new acoustic duo called elov and collaborate with several other electronic musicians in the Houston area. The newest project in the works is a long-distance hip-hop collaboration called Hopvine with my old buddy Senator Rosenberg….coming soon!!
I play quite a few shows in the Houston/Austin area, both as Nectarine and with together.We are Instruments, so please come out and see us!!
