After playing a key role in the American occupation of the Admiralty Islands, Tether Versio now divides his time between New York City and the forests of the Yukon. Reknowned for both his granulated music stylings and his water colors of wildlife, Mr. Versio is a staunch proponent of human cloning and a frequent contributor to The Orange Bangkok Review - which describes his music as 'a cold fucking womb of electro-brilliance.' [#142 April, 1987].
Greyscale Wonder is his first release, and here the scattered glitches and sparks of the digital process are tempered by a minimalist's restraint, and special attention is paid to giving presence to every sound and movement; it's the acoustic music of a thoughtful [and somewhat melancholy] computer.
In Tether Versio's first release, the sensibilities of Oval's Systemisch and Eno's Music for Airports gently collide, creating a taut narrative built from quivering tones, slight delays, fractured loops, and sounds ripped from the hard drive and made beautiful.
