Snorkel
Snorkel can refer to multiple artists:
1. A South London-based collective
2. An Australian composer and sound designer
3. An American noise-rock band from Kalamazoo, Michigan
1. Snorkel are an avant-whatever collective exploring the nether regions between the groove and free improvisation; sub-aquatic observations of dub, jazz, afro-beat, krautrock and electronica.
This South London-based collective, whose members come from different corners of the alternative scene, bring together the tactics of improvisation, electronica, and sound art. Propelled by the afro-kraut, jazz-dub leanings of drummer Frank Byng and the rhythms generated by cheap samplers and drum machines, SNORKEL revel in the joy of psychedelic repetition throwing in elastic interruptions on guitar, analogue and digital synthesisers, trombone, live samples and vocals.
“the ghostly jam of Miles Davis, Sonic Youth and Lee Perry smeared… all over our asses”. **- Paul Hawkins
