Hardedge
 
Sound designer Hardedge’s live-mix delves into the more intellectual elements of dark electronic music. His experimental approach to sound, space, and structure owes a lot to the fundamental principles of the Chicago's A.A.C.M. creative thinkers, especially Wadada Leo Smith's revolutionary multi-directional, non-progressive approach, and the use of the silence as a musical element. Paired with Haynes’ unique sensibility, he creates psychedelic-like aural landscapes, made up of polyrhythms and random, transient frequencies. His music becomes a surrealistic construction that defies the imagination, a stunning aural sculpture created by an uncompromising artist rarely found in today’s art of sound.

Together with the cornet player Graham Haynes, Hardedge has performed at the Symphony Space, Queens Museum of Art, Makor, The Stone, and Roulette in New York City, as well as at the Sarajevo Jazz Festival in Bosnia, and at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.
