Son of Gunnar, Ton of Shel is the duo of Aram Shelton and Steini Gunnarson. Their music, which is largely improvised, is held together by a shared sense of commitment to long forms and instinctive timing. Using prepared guitar, wind instruments and live sample-based processing via PD and MSP, they create thick multilayered textural music that is guided by their expressive melodicism.
"The electronic processing (loopers, live sample-based processing via PD and MSP etc.) are used to extend the palette of the instruments, at times giving us clouds of aural haze and at others shards of sonic detritus that fill up every available space in your head."
-John Gore, Chain DLK
