Grains of Sound

Solo performer mixing original music with live sample manipulation, f/x and keyboards, sometimes accompanied by live guitarist. Music can range from 60bpm beatless ambient to 80-120bpm chillout, and up to 140bpm progressive psy-trance.

Grains of Sound is the psy-trance to ambient project from brothers Chris (Exeris) & Jason Sevanick, who gained notoriety with their industrial electronic act, Mindless Faith.

In 2012 Pharmacy Music released "Eager Fingers" and "Paradigm Bag" which showcased the duo's beautifully rich soundscapes driven by a progressive psychedelic trance core. So in 2013, Pharmacy asked Grains of Sound to remix "Beyond the Limit" by John "00" Fleming and Christopher Lawrence.

In 2007, Grains of Sound released their double-disc debut album "Rays of Life", comprised of Vol. 1 Down (downtempo) and Vol. 2 Under (ambient), on AlterCulture Records. Their follow up album "Sine Language" (2010) received even greater acclaim for their exploration of different styles and energy levels. From atmospheric progressive psy-trance, to lush soundscapes and deep downtempo beats, to vast evolving layers which leave all beats behind, pure ambient intoxication.

Grains of Sound continues to perform in the US and Europe, including festivals such as Gaian Mind (USA), Life Celebration (Croatia), and Goa Dupa (Poland), and Independence Day (Germany).
