Rafael Anton Irisarri is an American composer, multi-instrumentalist and media artist based in Seattle, Washington, predominantly associated with post-minimalist, drone and ambient music.

He is also known as the main member of electronic music/shoegaze act The Sight Below (on Ghostly International).

His placid compositions utilize ostinato motifs containing short melodic phrases. Reverb-drenched guitar textures, drones, field recordings, submerged piano notes, strings and minimal electronic counterpoints all contribute and converge equally in the music to create an oceanic experience that can be both epic and subdued. His music has been described by The Wire contributing writer Jefferson Petrey as "a dual perspective close-up focus on the micro textures of rustling static-filled sonic surfaces with the wide-open distant tree lined horizons of sunset at dusk."

Irisarri cited in an interview with German electronic music magazine De:Bug as been inspired by Mahler, Satie, Debussy, and Wagner, as well as Kevin Shields, Robin Guthrie, and Harold Budd.

Taking his name from the "Cyberpunk 2020" off-shoot card game "Netrunner", the once elusive Access To Arasaka has seemly come out of nowhere to take the electronic music community by storm with his debut full-length CD album "Oppidan" in 2009.

"Oppidan" is a futuristic journey of a cerebral nature, demonstrating a virtual equinox of surgical beatwork and densely-layered atmospheres. ‘Oppidan‘ transcended complexity and innovation in electronic music to arrived at the very edge of its own inner space.

The Rochester, NY producer’s cyberpunk influences are evident as he skillfully paints each sonic sound-scape with expert precision and meticulous attention to detail. The artist describes his music as "a mixture of every influence I’ve ever had, past and present. As the general idea of this project is a way to describe the future I anticipate, the sounds and styles themselves are an homage to every song that has already taken me there."

"Void();" is Access To Arasaka’s new full-length on Tympanik Audio. Sixteen fantastic new tracks of dark sonic futurism inspired by the history and future of system hacking. An open invitation for the listener to imagine what a computer might attempt to comprehend when it’s system is under such an attack.

The Grasshopper Lies Heavy is louder than fuck.

Call it “Post-Hardcore”, “Artcore”, “Post-Metal”, “Amp Worship”, call it whatever you like. The amorphous musical giant known as The Grasshopper Lies Heavy defy typical categorization. The band has released seven albums in five years, all exploring varying musical territories while maintaining a common thread: crushingly heavy wall-of-sound music; sometimes melodic, sometimes atonal, speaker shredding, enigmatic, and emotive. Pushing air and decibel levels into the physical realm and performing almost always on the floor, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy demands all of the audience’s senses, participation, experience, and presence.

Founded in 2005 by James Woodard, the band was signed to Forgotten Empire Records after releasing their debut self-titled EP and garnering some critical praise. Forgotten Empire released two of their albums; the experimental and droney Soft Noise and the critically lauded GUN, before dissolving in 2009. The band, left without a label and with an album in the can, decided to release their long-awaited follow-up to GUN, Every Man For Himself and God Against All, themselves in January 2010 (A live version of the album has also been released, recorded live on KSYM 90.1 radio). Their most recent releases are a series of two cassette splits; one with San Antonio bretheren Sohns (entitled Werewolf), and a second with Atlanta, GA’s Hawks (entitled Fluffer). Werewolf will also be released on CD by Mt. Hope Revival Records early this summer.

The Grasshopper Lies Heavy has shared the stage with Torche, Russian Circles, Coliseum, Clouds, Nebula,Lightning Bolt, Tera Melos, Genghis Tron, This Will Destroy You, Jucifer, Dark Castle, Totimoshi, Black Cobra, The Entrance Band, Sightings, Rwake, City of Ships, By The End Of Tonight, Constants, The Dead See, Suplecs, Solace, U2, Nickelback, and many others.

Album: Arroyo - Arroyo

Year: 2010

01. Segel Setzen

There is a lot going on between throat and hair. Life ripples through oppressed fingers, the heart is pounding, thoughts run riot. Life is an acid test, the head the link between common sense and rage. There, where the epiphysus carves out its existence, is where Arroyo settled down. The band that feeds the melancholic beast with epic post-rock and paces against the night with experimental, lunatic screamo, just doesn’t negotiate.
Life is the abyss, where the beauty of the moment means the greatest luck. It’s the essence of Dostojewski: Between death and insanity, alcohol-sodden reality and the sweetest dream, brute violence and intuitive value come up the musical, emotional highlights, that the Hessian quartet raises out of nowhere.
