Lossy & Strangers Are People Too - Microverse

Microverse is the third release fr composer and producer Lossy on his label Boot Cycle Audio. Having previously released with Tru Thoughts, Tessier Ashpool & Two Rivers Records, Lossy teams up with visual artist Strangers Are People Too for this live looping piece which has been released both as a full 20 minute film and 4 track digital EP. Originally inspired by experiments with microscopes and natural objects, this work is an exploration of the epicness within the miniscule, a journey to the extraordinary realms that can be found within the ordinary. Here you will find acid techno bass lines layered with orchestral brass, vintage synth sounds blended with overlapping saxophone, along with dystopian warped piano and noise based sound design.

The music is layered up in live loops of electronic and acoustic sounds, all based around a minimal 16 note sequence, taking us through four distinct movements while visuals of electrified organica journey through imagined inner worlds. Having performed and developed the piece at several events, including the Music Tech Fest at LSO St Luke's in London and IRCAM in Paris, the pair are now delighted to present this polished studio version in all its quirky and colourful glory.

Lossy, aka Sam Sharp, is a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist based in Hackney, London.  Always at the forefront of technology, his live performances combine innovative controllers, live electronics, traditional acoustic instruments and looping gear to enable him to improvise and compose on the fly.

Strangers Are People Too is the alias of London based VJ and video artist Sarah Culross. Fascinated with abstraction and distillation, her visuals veer from the slight and minimal to the psychedelic and gaudy, distorting representations of nature and everyday objects to beyond recognition.

The pair first met whilst collaborating on a live show with poet Hollie McNish, after which they started sending each other snippets of audio and video a few jams later and Microverse was born and ready to perform live. They plan to perform the piece again in 2017 to mark this release.
