Grkzgl is Alex Scarfone, a fixture of the Montreal electronic music and noise scenes for the better part of two decades, whether a solo artist or a member of the trio Chansons d’amour (with Cabral Jacobs and John Brennan). While Grkzgl’s output has vacillated somewhat unpredictably between various poles (improvised/sequenced, clean/distorted, tonal/atonal), the performance at Initial Shock will be one of unrestrained, ecstatic noise.
Rather than force intent or mirror accomplices, inspiration comes to WINDSHEAR through routine sensory curiosity and the realized functions of unwanted modules. Paired with petty technical skills and an unsparing yet charitable desire to maintain fidelity and commitment, WINDSHEAR shifts currents intentionally yet unknowingly in directions neither rational nor candid. WINDSHEAR is from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Thanks to everyone who has bought advanced tickets so far!
