An ambient sonic atmosphere, blending unique synthetic textures, rich analog waves and digital samples. Individual tracks are unified by a concept of water - immersed in a sonorous reverberation of introspection
Bio / Background
John Broaddus (AKA Laocoon) creates lush and languid sounds that prevail in the genre of space music or electronic new age, without the emphasis on a driving melodic form. The artist invents instruments, voices and unique sample edits that infuse the work with a grittier, or darker texture, contrapuntal to the aforementioned styles and reminiscent of the industrial genre-without utilizing definable loops or easily recognizable rhythms characteristic of industrial music or dance tracks. Furthermore, John constructs an introspective sonic environment by not necessarily imposing traditional notions of musical structure.
John is fascinated by the undiscovered textural potential electronic instruments allow in his compositions. The process of composing is directly connected to the discovery of sonic events through experimentation and improvisation. Johns music is meant to create an atmosphere that encourages introspection and meditation.
