The Shape of Sound

Australian import! Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, Brian Chase and Seth Misterka are a freethinking sonic duo content on bring back the vigor and spontaneity of experimental free jazz whilst taking a modern approach that's entirely their own. Coming together in 2005 at one of Seth's regular Brooklyn improvised free jazz nights, Brian and Seth immediately connected and began recording their debut self titled album, only months after their first collaboration. Brian is best known for his impressive work as drummer in New York based rock trio Yeah Yeah Yeahs, his companion in sound Seth Misterka is a highly regarded, well established session saxophonist who's most notable for his work with Anthony Braxton's ensemble. Together they create a unique form of minimalist free jazz that's akin to the likes of Albert Ayler, Sun Ra and Sonic Youth's SYR series of releases. Recorded in April 2010 in Brooklyn, NY, The Shape of Sound is Brian and Seth's second album.
