Colin Andrew Sheffield

**Late Breakfast** presents a night of exploratory electronics and sound artists from Austin, Portland, Joshua Tree, and Los Angeles.

Julie Carpenter and Dain Luscombe formed **Less Bells** when they left Los Angeles and settled in the California desert of Joshua Tree. Carpenter had been a session violinist, and toured with artists such as Love with Arthur Lee, Eels, Spiritualized and more. Luscombe was composing for tv and film, and had toured as a keyboardist as well with Marjorie Fair and Bell Gardens. Taking their newfound space and time to explore, the duo gave free rein to their eclectic musical interests. Less Bells pulls from American folk, classical music, experimental electronica, and European folk traditions as well. The hurdy gurdy drones along with the Buchla synth; violins and cellos twine along with coyote howls and gusts of wind recorded in the wilderness outside the studio. Their background in soundtrack music has shaped their creative output as well, and the music often has a cinematic, narrative quality which speaks of landscapes both beautiful and frightening.

**Colin Andrew Sheffield** lives in Austin TX where he runs the Elevator Bath record label. As a sound artist, active since the mid-'90s, Sheffield's audio collage work has consistently focused on the use of samples: deconstructed loops of hidden melodies and textures found in his collection of physical media. These snatches of sound are layered in harmony and/or at odds with one another, giving rise to the ethereal undercurrents inherent in his selections.

**Ian Wellman** is a sound artist currently residing in Los Angeles. His recordings have been published by Room40, Ash International, Dragon’s Eye Recordings, Luminous Drift, and Industrial Coast, and contributed to albums by Xiu Xiu and Deru. Ian is an IATSE 695 Y-1 journeyman, and a member of the LA-based sound collective VOLUME.

**Andrew Anderson**, based in Portland OR, creates sound pieces out of carefully curated field recordings, hidden samples, destroyed tape, and various instruments, both electronic and analog, with a focus on quiet repetition, drone, and patient change. In 2022 he joined the label Elevator Bath for his latest solo release, "Vagrancies”, a ghostly meditation on the chaos of the last several years.
