about

ALGO UNDERGROUND is a rotating cast of musicians who approach their improvisational music as a fearless team sport. Schooled and unschooled players interact producing unpredictable, raw material. Their goals are to listen, react, play nothing familiar, and record everything. That product is then mined under a microscope (in Protools) measure by measure, beat by beat. It's looped, cut, remixed, overdubbed, and composed after the fact into funky new beasts altogether.  Otherworldly evolving grooves, often in odd time signatures, create a lush, syncopated groundwork over which soloists explore trading melodies, solos, and riffs in this unapologetically robust instrumental release.
