Carl Stone
Live computer music and sample collage
Based in Los Angeles, United States; Tokyo, Japan · From Los Angeles, United States
Stone’s sets are built from real-time sampling and dense electronic splices rather than beats. Expect rapid cut-up collage, unstable loops, and a lot of timbral blur: tiny fragments getting stretched, pitched, and stacked into long, absorbing masses.
