Dr. Chelsea Bruno, also known as Eden Grey, is a prolific producer from Miami. She is also involved in organizing modular synthesis events for CV FREQS from Portland, Oregon, to London, England, where she did her PhD research in music composition at Royal Holloway, University of London. She earned a Master’s degree in Music Technology from Florida International University and a Bachelor’s in Studio Art from the University of Miami.
Inspired by dub, electro, ambient, and techno music, she has released several albums since 2009 and had tracks included on several artist compilations. EDEN GREY uses a custom-built modular synthesizer with both analog and digital parts to make a sound world that combines modern electronica and ambient music styles with the feel of old-school electronic music.
Through an exploration of the self in both music and two-dimensional artwork, Eden Grey created a reflection of herself in the form of an audio documentary portrait. Int-Interred was made with a modular synthesizer, an Elektron drum machine, vocal samples, and sometimes a modular synth running through a keyboard controller, the Poly-Cinematic module from Knobula on Eras of Ethos. The result is a strong mix of sounds from the past, the present, and the unknown future.
"The face B" is certainly experimental, but it is far from "hard" or "inaccessible," which reminds us easily of Eden's previous explorations with the Apocalypse released on Gamma Mine label in 2017. The "Face A" sounds smoother, elegant, fluid, and catchy; the release achieves the effect of space-time transformation, or "magical states."
The release is available as a download, on a special limited edition of 30 Audio Cassettes, and as a bundle with an exclusive Book Portfolio.
