Steven Hess / Miles Tilmann:

Steven Hess is a drummer with a background in jazz, modern composition electro-acoustic sound and electronic music. He has collaborated with such artists as Greg Davis, Sylvain Chauveau, Christian Fennesz, and Robert Hampson, and is an active member of Pan American (Kranky), Fessenden (Other Electricities), Haptic (Entr'acte, FSS) and the Dropp Ensemble (Type).

Miles Tilmann creates evocative electronic music and soundscapes. An experienced composer, performer and collaborator, he's worked with various styles including ambient, experimental, and dance music. He has multiple solo releases on various labels, and has collaborated with and remixed artists such as Kate Simko, Machine Drum, Caural, Fessenden, and Mark DeNardo.

Together they create a unique hybrid of improvised percussion and electronics, where Tilmann's deep bass tones and sublime waves of sound converse with Hess's intricate rhythms and textures: the sonic equivalent of a complex series of weather systems that assemble, unfold and disintegrate according to their own logic.

Departures is Hess & Tilmann's forthcoming vinyl-only release on Other Electricities. Their synergy; starkly apparent within symphonies of unpredictable undercurrents and tonal atmospherics. The yield; a crossed-signal phase shift between airy and aqueous. Simultaneously intriguing and elusive through their manipulation of sound's depth of field, they successfully incorporate this often underused element, pressurizing shimmering pulses alongside chaotic decays.
