Celeryman

official site

Celeryman is a trio comprised of Henna Dress (amazing 8-bit Gameboy player) , Haruna Ito (from SKIST, ever-interesting sound artist, vocalist and audio-verite experimenter) and Samm Bennett (Korg WaveDrum rhythmist extraordinaire).
Henna Dress's ever-shifting Gameboy sequences and Samm's live WaveDrum patterns together form a solid foundation, punctuated and accented by Haruna's vocal, percussion and electronic sound devices.
Though Henna Dress's Gameboy patterns are sequences, they are manipulated in real time, live, in a constantly unfolding panorama of development, and Samm's live drumming goes even further to bring the group's rhythmic character into a very human dimension.
Haruna brings the human voice into the mix, plus other organic and electronic sounds, and the result is a sound that is a truly refreshing blend of sonic worlds and sensibilities.
Perhaps no other group is currently bridging the gap between the 8-bit Game-Music world and hands-on human music performance in the way that Celeryman is doing.
