Knob Fiddler. Sound Herder.

Gold Everything (GE) lives somewhat happily in Seattle. Curious by nature, occasionally employed by profession, he spends countless hours prodding noise machines with his fingers in a futile bid to express himself. Largely self-taught and clean as a whistle, the multi-instrumentalist and producer has performed and recorded a prodigious amount of mostly unheard and unappreciated material over the course of his wonderfully pointless life.

Hardware is the heart of the GE sound – an imperfect, hand-picked collection of small devices with big personalities and lots of little buttons. The resulting soundscape is a mix of rhythmic and harmonic relations that might hang together or collapse at any moment; music made significant by its fleeting and uncertain existence. Like a mayfly. Or when your windshield wipers and indicator lights temporarily fall in sync with the radio.

GE is inspired by a variety of artists he’s never met including Moritz Von Oswald, Floating Points, Sun Ra, Jeff Parker, Jon Hopkins, Pole, and Bill Evans. Artists he has met but remains uninfluenced by include Brendan Fraser and They Might Be Giant’s John Linnell.
