Nicholas Maloney is a sound artist from the American south. They create concrète compositions from field recordings under their given name, fluid ambient music as Blanket Swimming, and are 1/2 of the experimental music duo, Picture Rather Muted. Maloney works with field recording, guitar, synthesizers, and a variety of processed instruments/sound sources to create an abstract world of immense depth and range. Maloney's work expresses stillness and activity, lightness and dark, in order to provide a rich imaginative space for listeners to explore. They also curate the longform music label, Asonu and operate their self-publishing banner, Open Colour Imprint.
DOUSING is the moniker of Chicago-based artist Ben Chlapek. He uses synthesizers and saturation to make drone / ambient / experimental music he describes as "skygaze."
