Biography
dRachEmUsiK is the most recent project by international, award wining electronic musician, sound designer and producer Charles Shriner and is being heard in a variety of different venues from clubs, festivals to after parties and coffee shops. The current sound of dRachEmUsiK has been described as "glitch-groove ambient beats with a strong modal jazz influence". Simple melodies swirling in mixed tempos and undulating textures. Dense, erotic, evocative, emotional, spontaneous and sometimes noisy. dRachEmUsiK blends improvisation with structure and is performed in real time. The music is fresh, innovative and eclectic while maintaining enough familiar elements to remain accessible without compromising creative integrity. Sounds like; Squarepusher, George Shearing (on acid), Morton Subotnk and Techno-Animal.
Instrumentation
Charles Shriner: Akai EWI 4000s, Various Soft-Synths and controllers and real time Video projection.
