Cleared

VINYL FORMAT. Limited to 500 copies on heavyweight white vinyl; comes with a digital download! Cleared is the debut album from Cleared (the Chicago duo of Steven Hess and Michael Vallera). They formed in the latter part of 2009 as a project meant to focus on repetition and patience as central elements of composition. Hess and Vallera have previously worked in various contexts of improvisational, long form and experimental music. Cleared is an effort to take the knowledge both have gained from these arenas in order to build hypnotic patterns of sound and rhythm.
