BIO
“Seattleʼs St Celfer writes immersive electronic songs that encompass both haunting beauty & wild experimentalism.” – BANDCAMP
St Celfer, of Korean and American origin, floats between NYC, São Paulo and Seattle.
St Celfer creates future folk improvisations that use glitch-tronics which tread failure with counterblasts through the vanishing point. Sound is amalgamated and congealed into a resolution of crossed and overloaded signals.
During the isolation of the pandemic St Celfer devised instruments focused on the interface between man and machine. Currently they mount to a single mic stand with interconnected gear attached and arranged so that the player can best make music in the moment.
Each unique performance embraces sensory overload in order to unlock ways of perceiving a world made narrow by the impositions of power. There is a lot of noise today - we just need to hear the music within it.
St Celfer has thrice been named New & Notable on BANDCAMP (2021 & 2022 & 2023), and is the featured wave track for Infrasonica issue #7, ‘Voicing Abstraction’.
