"Drew Wesely, Lester St. Louis and Carlo Costa have made an important and beautiful recording.  Each track on Hypersurface unfolds as a series of exciting and vivid sonic surprises that result in richly rewarding complexity. This music is rare, virtuosic and ultra contemporary . A great example of how skillful, creative, daringly innovative musicians can use improvisation to make new music that could never be made another way."

hypersurface began one afternoon in a brooklyn apartment at the end of 2018. the music had a certain vitality and freedom to it that was immediately palpable. it seemed to flow from itself with a kind of transparency that didn’t necessitate any particular sound to be maintained or sustained as a role in the overall texture but, rather, allowed for collective interdependent phrases to come in and out of focus creating a modular effect in which multiple levels of timbre, density, and rhythmic activity are available at any given moment. 

hypersurface is drew wesely - guitar/objects; lester st. louis - cello; carlo costa - percussion

this debut recording was made in the summer of 2019 in a surplus warehouse in south brooklyn engineered, mixed, and mastered by nathaniel morgan.

below you'll find a private link to the recording, we sincerely hope you enjoy the music.

sound has its own life

impersonal/universal;

intimate/immediate

we are told it comes from outside ourselves as vibrations traveling through the air

but our bodies are made of vibrations

resonant telepathic communion

language without concepts

we experience sound inside ourselves
