Jason Nazary has been working on a new series of compositions for drum set and synths. In Trust In Its Novel Repetition, he plays various concise studies that are equal parts clatter and blurp. Nazary creates a shared language between the instruments, gradually revealing complexity through the exploration of simple ideas.

Jason Nazary (b.1984, Aviano, Italy) is a drummer and composer from Atlanta, based in Brooklyn. Fascinated by the intersection of acoustic and electronic music, he uses the drums as a trigger and control source for a collection of synthesizers and sequencers.

Over the course of four solo records, including two under the name So Ghost, and numerous other releases with a growing list of collaborators, Nazary draws as much from beat-driven electronic music as from free improvised music. Current projects include work with Saint Abdullah (brothers Mohammad and Mehdi Mehrabani-Yeganeh), Amirtha Kidambi’s Elder Ones, and a trio with Camilo Ángeles and Henry Fraser. He has co-led Anteloper, an improvised modular beat-shredding duo with Jaimie Branch; Clebs, the dystopian electro-noise duo with singer Emilie Weibel; Bear In Heaven, a psychedelic synth-heavy indie rock band; and Little Women, a noise-meets-free-jazz soul quartet.
