BIO
“Seattleʼs St Celfer writes immersive electronic songs that encompass both haunting beauty & wild experimentalism.” BANDCAMP
St Celfer, treading glitch-tronic failure, creates improvisational future-folk compositions - sound is amalgamated and congealed into a resolution of crossed and overloaded signals. St Celfer devises instruments focused on the interface between human and machine, which mount to a single mic stand with interconnected gear attached and arranged to make music in the moment. In performance St Celfer 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."
