Eternal Drift

​Brian Wenner's Performance

​'Eternal Drift' is a new and unreleased full length studio album by experimental musician Brian Wenner. Be the first to hear the album on the immersive 24 channel spatial audio system at Reforesters Laboratory. 'Eternal Drift' will be presented in full ambisonic surround sound as part of Wenner's spatial audio residency.

​'Eternal Drift' encompasses sampled acoustic instrumentation, layered electronic textures, and natural field recordings. These elements drift and evolve into several distinct movements, ranging from melodic ambience to chaotic noise. The album features additional recorded instrumentation by Kirin McElwain (cello) and Tatsuya Nakatani (percussion).

​The run time of 'Eternal Drift' is 50 minutes and will begin promptly at 9:00pm. Please try to arrive by 8:30pm and grab a beverage from the cafe prior to the start of the listening event.

​Thank you to Chloe Alexandra Thompson and Greg Kieser for the opportunity to present this work.

​Artist: Brian Wenner

​Brian Wenner is a Brooklyn-based experimental electronic musician. His musical practice combines sample layering and improvisation to create dense sound works that feel frenetic yet structured. Bandcamp has described his sound as “sizzling experimental electronic music, alternatively dissonant and tuneful.”

​Working primarily with sampled audio content, Wenner’s work is heavily inspired by Musique Concrète and sound collage. He often gathers sound material from a variety of sources including Internet and phone-ripped audio, natural field recordings, and his own personal sample library. Sounds are then manipulated and layered via Eurorack samplers and further edited and re-imagined in software. The inspiration for such a process comes from his fascination in recontextualizing random audio snippets to create something new and musically meaningful.
