S[K]IES is the moniker for my solo project dedicated to exploration within ambient, harsh noise, and death-metal-influenced textures. S[K]IES seeks to create a visceral experience through the integration of percussion and live electronics that may draw listeners into a state of mind for reflection and perhaps healing. Works under this moniker explore the extremities of mental states with an often brutal sound palette that is psychedelic in nature. In turn, dense textures of noise create opportunities for great catharsis in spacious drones with washes of timbre. This project emerged from a series of experiments in 2013-2015 in search of a performance platform that would combine my formal studies as a percussionist with my more informal sound experiments, all with a gravitation towards heavy genre.
