Composer of Electronic and Chamber Music, Freelance Programmer

The Lazers! release, clocking in at around 100 minutes of music, is now available for free at Stasisfield.

Stasisfield curator John Kannenberg eloquently describes the recording:

Lazers! is a Milwaukee-based trio of composer/performers including David Collins, Steve Schlei, and Greg Surges. Their collective work focuses on custom-built instruments and indeterminate notation, incorporating situational, playful approaches to performance while generating exploratory sonic spaces. Electronic instrumentation comingles with structures and forms rooted in the acoustic realm of improvisation: look for beats elsewhere, this material is more about sound’s relationship to negative space than pattern and rhythm. A multitude of approaches and scenarios makes each track on their debut album a fresh experience, its own uniquely impermanent world.

Modisti has a little post about “Morphologies” on their Podcast section today. Check it out  and maybe comment here.

I’ve posted a recording of “Pattern Recognition,” performed by C2. Go check it out, I’m really happy with it!

Just found some links to my work on Modisti, an online magazine/directory of new experimental music and sound art.

Also, an unknown person has created a video to accompany my piece “Swarm” and posted it on Youtube.

After my mp3 hosting problems, I’ve switched to Soundcloud. All the mp3 links here sound work, and you can find my Soundcloud profile at www.soundcloud.com/greg-surges/.
