Starting with a home brewed digital instrument, Peter Chester and Rob Cross met in college and dived deep into a nerd-gasm of sound. In the electronic music program at UCSC they were trained in the ancient arts of midi and audio geekery. Classes led by the unique teaching stylings of Peter Elsea were fueled by coffee and gummy bears with sessions often lasting long into the night and into the next day.
Using Cycling 74’s MAX/MSP, Peter built a custom looping patch, called the “cuisNart”, a live collaborative music production instrument. Often catching guest artists off guard, the recording process the songs take form in a very organic often slowly unfolding pattern that often lends itself to an extended jam session. These live jams are then remixed retouched and edited down to the most delicious and unique moments of the performance. The creme de la creme.
As the years have passed, this project has evolved into a sonic-emotional journal. Deepfried's music is the artifact of happenings. Our albums are markers in time. They are the reverberation of our spiritual and physical journey, often infused with serendipitous sounds and adventurous visitors. The music production process tends to center around blending live recordings and loops around a foundation of a digital library resulting in intimate aural explorations.
