Benoît Pioulard + Gardener at Revolve Art Space

EARLY SHOW: doors at 7pm, music at 7:30 $7 advance / $10 day of show -- tix at revolveavl.org Benoît Pioulard's first Asheville appearance since 2009 ! Since a young age, Seattle's Benoît Pioulard (aka Thomas Meluch) has been fascinated by natural sounds and the textures of decay. For more than a decade he has sought to create a unique sonic environment influenced by pop song structures and the unpredictability of field recordings. An avid collector of instruments and analog devices, Meluch relies on guitar and voice as the bases for his body of work, which now includes five full-lengths for the beloved Kranky label (including 2015's "Sonnet") as well as collaborations with Rafael Anton Irisarri (aka The Sight Below) and Kyle Bobby Dunn. pioulard.com | soundcloud.com/pioulard | pioulard.bandcamp.com Gardener is the solo electronic project from Dash Lewis, a Richmond, VA-based sound artist and musician. Using a modular synthesizer, various effects pedals and voice, Lewis creates intricately layered, rhythmically complex slabs of psychedelia deeply influenced by Harmonia, Lichens, and Ariel Kalma. gardenermusic.bandcamp.com
