His intricate genre-exploding club constructions transport the listener so far past his IDM, techno, and electroacoustic touchstones into a new mutated rave aesthetic. His work has since evolved into a beatless expansive exploration of sonic possibilities fusing sound art, drone, power-ambient, minimalism and maximalism.
Son Zept Performance (2023)
Son Zept's performance will be a dense audio-visual experience focusing on immersion and texture. A sonic tour ranging from beautiful minimalist ambient to bass-heavy spectralist intensity that engages with the role of memory in sound and image. These compositions and their visuals are focused on journeying to a different way of perceiving sight and sound as each begs to effect one another. Drawing from his solo work and collaborations with traditional Irish singers, contemporary violinists, and spoken word artists, Son Zept will be fusing his own concepts with his influences of power-ambient, death-ambient, electroacoustic music, hauntology, drone metal, contemporary classical, and Celtic music.
